A quick update from Greg:
Just wanted to let everyone know that my parents (Gil and Ronda) made is safely to Macha last week. It is rainy season right now, so that means that there are many problems with the electricity and internet connection. They have not been able to update the website recently due to these problems.
The new school year has begun, they have moved to a larger classroom to handle all of the new students. The government of Zambia came out to inspect the school and was very impressed. The new school building is starting to progress. They have started construction of staff housing and the classroom structure. Pictures and details will be posted soon, when they get a reliable internet connection.
One additional bit of info is that Macha now has cell phone service! Up until now, there was no phone service at all in the village of Macha. The only way to communicate with Gil and Ronda was to use the internet. I am happy to report, that I spoke with them on their cell phone for about 15 minutes the other day...with crystal clear reception! They are doing well and excited about all the new things that continue to happen in Macha.
Please check back for updates on Gil and Ronda all the new progress!
Welcome To SoMacha.com!
They moved to Macha to start MICS (Macha Innovative Christian School). There was a desperate need for a quality elementary school for the local children and the many orphans in Macha. It has been 3 years now, and they have more than 60 students. God has done many amazing things in Macha. We are excited to see what will happen next!
This website will allow Gil and Ronda to keep everyone informed and up to date on all the events in Macha.
Please check back often and keep them in your prayers.
