MOMENT FOR MISSION:                    March 22 – World Water Day

Access to clean water in Chimbonano village in southern Malawi used to be a huge challenge. Community members had to drink from unclean water sources or travel far distances to access clean water. Flonnie Mpunga knows how dangerous the situation was for her village. “Waterborne diseases were common and we spent a lot of time nursing each other. We couldn’t work hard in our fields, so we experienced food shortages.” But all that has changed thanks to a Presbyterian   World Service & Development program providing access to safe water by digging boreholes and wells. Flonnie shares, “Our lives have improved. We no longer spend long hours fetching water. I have enough time to prepare my field and take care of my family. The well has improved my family’s health, as well as the health of the whole community.”

PWS&D responds to provide clean water

MOMENT FOR MISSION:          Sunday March 15  Connecting through music

Gifts to Presbyterians Sharing help share the gospel with Korean immigrants in North York, Ontario. Sohrae Church, which was started with support from Presbyterians Sharing, is well known to the community for its work with the Sohrae Youth Orchestra. The orchestra, which began as an ensemble that played during Sunday worship, soon grew into an independent non-profit organization. It develops and realizes the musical talent of Korean youth, and allows them to serve the local community with a Christian spirit. A recent concert raised $4,000 for three charities. Sohrae’s music classes also reach out to and build connections with the community. The majority of students come from outside of the Sohrae congregation, and some of the students’ families have started to attend Sunday services.

Sunday March 8

March 8 – International Women’s Day

Zahida is an accomplished teacher at a high school in Afghanistan, where not long ago cultural norms forced her to abandon her dream of teaching. After graduating, she pursued a teaching career and got  married shortly thereafter. While her husband initially supported her choice to work, he soon worried what his friends and family would think about her career and Zahida was forced to quit. Thankfully a Presbyterian World Service & Development program working to change cultural attitudes and raise awareness about the importance of education interceded. After explaining to Zahida’s family about how important her work is, Zahida was able to return to the school. “Teaching is not just a job for me, but it is my dream to help children learn. Through the support of this project, I am once again living my dream,” she shares.
