Thank you for your donations! We have been able to complete the following projects, and many deaf will be blessed by your contributions.
Burundi Bible School
Our leaders in Burundi have commence a Bible training school on DMI’s property in Bujumbura. The number of students is increasing and there is a great need for 3 double deck bunk beds to accommodate the new intake in a few weeks time. $500 is needed immediately to purchase these beds and other necessary equipment.
Sponsor a calamansi tree or a rambutan tree.
Update: All the trees were destroyed in the typhoon (see news page) and need to be replanted.
Next to the piggery we have 2 hectares where 1000 calamansi and and rambutan trees were planted. Calamansi are a tiny little citrus fruit used extensively in the Philippines and rambutan are a hairy kind of lychee for use of a better description. There were destroyed together with other agricultural projects. If you can help with the replanting and restoration of these projects, please donate.
Burundi Wood Workshop
The United Nations donated to DMI Burundi a very fancy machine enabling deaf employees of the work shop to make furniture and other sophisticated wood products. The machine needs to be moved to a much more accessible location where business can be picked up from passers by. The current location is too far out of the way for business development. They also need some clamps to hold wood together while being glued.
To move the machine, hook up the power and buy the clamps will amount to about $600.
