Munkombwe was raised at SOT and was assisted from the Student Sponsorship Program and The Blessed Fund to pursue a career in art. After training at school and the National Art Gallery in Lusaka, Munkombwe is now building a reputation as a "budding artist." To say thank you to Sons of Thunder Munkombwe designed, constructed, and installed this beautiful sign post at the road side!
After a long time of having classes in an outdoor shelter construction of the new preschool has finished! It is located right next to the primary school and the kids are loving it! This wouldn't of have been possible without your prayers and financial support. And as always thanks and praise to God for His direction and provision.
The prolonged absence of sufficient rainfall has hit the land hard. The scorching heat beats relentlessly upon parched fields, crops wither and yields diminish, painting a picture of uncertainty.
The rain-fed fields have always depended on the rhythm of the seasons. Everyone knew that rainy season was coming and preparation was done. However, the severe drought conditions have ruined this delicate balance, depriving crops of essential moisture, stunting growth and reducing yields to less or nothing.
The impact of the drought does not end with scarcity of food alone. The water reservoirs are not full, forcing the authorities to implement certain measurements including rationing electricity. With hydro electric power generation disturbed by reducing water levels, communities are faced with the reality of limited access to electricity (shut-offs starting at 8 hours per day) resulting in disrupted daily routines.
We may not know what tomorrow brings but what we do know is that God’s providence is beyond imagination and so we are thankful.
