Dr. Mtika Expresses Thanks Amidst Flooding in Malawi
Orphan Grain Train has been shipping to Malawi for many years. This is a note from our recipient, Dr. Mtika at Norfolk Schools in Malawi. He also sent photos of the current flooding that is happening in the Southern African country.
“Just wanting to say a big Thank you to OGT for the tremendous ministry that you do to help the situation in Malawi. That 40′ container with rice will be just right for all these that have lost their houses and livelihood. Unfortunately, some 13 lost their lives in the process of the floods. I’m in contact with the over twenty pastors that we partner with to check with their parishioners. Most of them have confirmed that no one has been lost but many have had their houses, crops and livelihood swept away. I’ve confirmed them that help from OGT is on the way. They are very appreciative for all the help that OGT provides through Norfolk Schools in Malawi. THANK YOU!!
