I’ve wanted to blog about my trip to The King’s Village, Ghana for about 2 months and have only just found the time!!  I visited The King’s Village back in January this year and it was a truly awe-inspiring trip.  The kindness of the Ghanaian people is incredible and I was instantly made to feel at home.  One of the main purposes of the trip was for me to see the Nutrition Centre.  I work for Operation Orphan and we were interested to see how we could help in this amazing work.

The Nutrition Centre works to rehabilitate malnourished children and educate the carers (often the mothers, but occasionally grandmothers or older sisters). Every day the centre deals with children who are severely malnourished, ensuring that they are carefully re-hydrated and then gradually reintroduced to the right foods. The carers are taught how to make up a porridge called Weanimix from ground nuts, soya beans and maize. This supplies the children with a good mix of the right things to help them grow into strong and healthy children.

The King’s Village is seeking to upgrade our innovative maternal and child health project. The innovative project is based on a careful study of the socio-cultural practices in the area and its impact on maternal and child health delivery.

Currently on visit to Pastor Ben and Marion with the entire family. We are enjoying their warm reception and hospitality in their lovely home. A bit cold toay as temperature in England has fallen. They are doing evrything that they can to keep us warm. Great to share in what the Lord is leading them to do and their passion for mission!

It is always a joy to have Ann and Terry in Ghana. The couple from Nottingham, UK has been volunteering for the King's Village for several years now going to the King's Village twice a year and spending not less than three months each year in Ghana to support the work in many different areas. This January they returned with Jess Tailor who was on a short fact finding visit on behalf of Operation Orphan, a UK based charity. Please pray that they will have a successful time at the King's Village and the staff will be encouraged by their visit.

Thank you!

There is so much joy to serve the poor together with others who are so committed to the same cause! God bless all KV Volunteers and partners!

Hello all KV members and partners, we wish you a very Happy New Year!
