Prayer for Elections
As we move closer to the elections Christians in Zimbabwe need to have a concerted push toward more personal and corporate prayer for our nation, it's leaders and her people. The following plan of action has been initiated by concerned pastors within the city..

1. Each church adopting and setting aside a day of the week to pray and fast as a congregation
2. Friday Night meetings at various churches for prayer
3. Prayer and intercessory groups within the city uniting in prayer
4. Pastors and church leaders to meet for prayer (Monday 10 March 1000 - 1200 @ a venue to be confirmed)
5. A day for National prayer for all (Easter Monday 24 March, 1000 - 1500 @ ZITF Main Arena)

Prayer Focus
1. Leadership
2. Peace, justice, truth & freedom
3. The economy

This will be underlined by repentance (past) and a turning toward righteousness (future) for the sake of healing in our nation.
Please note: This is not a political meeting. This is not an initiative by any particular church or organisation. This is a cry for Christians to unite in prayer for God to heal our nation regardless or race, colour or affiliation. If not us, who? If not now, when?

OUR OLD PEOPLE IN BULAWAYO

Whilst most of us know our old people are suffering in Zimbabwe, and that most of them have families who could support them and don't, here are a few facts :-

Food for Homes Bulawayo (FHB) is headed by Craig and Leslie Hunt who collect and distribute food and goods to nine homes in Bulawayo. These are :-

Barbara Burell
Jacaranda House
Queen Mary
Railstyn
Verity Am
Garden Park
Edith Duly
Bartley Block
Rhodes Jubilee

It costs US$325 per week to buy mince and chicken for these homes
It costs US$450 per week for vegetables for these homes
It costs R5000 per week to purchase flour, oil, etc in South Africa for these homes
This fund supports 360 people in the above homes and also adds goods to 160 soap packages which are delivered to the needy

The Bulawayo community has been outstanding in supporting all the functions that help our old age people. Please can I ask you again, to put your hands in your pockets and help in raising funds. Cash or goods to be auctioned would be really appreciated.

3) ROSES AND RASPBERRIES

I feel a huge bouquet of roses should go to Mr. Farley, Mrs. Van and all of the staff at Farley Funeral Services. I lost my father 2 years ago and my father-in-law in January this year and I have never come across such a group of kind and compassionate people as I did there. Their's is not a job I would envy anybody, particularly the very difficult circumstances under which they have to work. I should have sent this in long ago. Thank you

The Follwell Family

"On the whole I do not think I should care to live at Bulawayo. It is an arid and expensive and the lack of water makes any system of drainage impossible, at any rate at present, which is a great drawback and causes sickness. Still there is a certain charm about the place and I shall never forget the view from the stoep of the Inskeep's house."

I wish Sir Rider Haggard could see Bulawayo right now ! Especially the beautiful Hillside Dams Conservancy !! For more information contact

At Hillside Dams 1
Over the Last few weekends we have seen a huge number of visitors and it is most encouraging. The car park has been full on many occasions and there were several children's parties. It was especially encouraging to see the diversity of people there from all sectors of Bulawayo society and we can only hope that the support will continue - the more people that visit the greater the security presence and the more ideas we can get !!

Various companies are lending a hand both financially and with advice. Thanks to all. We hope that it will soon be obvious to all what has been going on behind the scenes and we intend to acknowledge one and all through appropriate signage, etc.

The braai area is soon to be restored while the Aloe Garden is being weeded and replanted using the stock still present. If anyone would like to offer any plants or advice please feel free to contact us. A number of exotic trees have been felled and replaced with indigenous species. We have also planted a few additional trees in the Lower Dam car park to increase shade.

The braai area is be refurbished while the toilets near the old tea-room are being repaired and upgraded.

For the early risers we saw our first pair of Egyptian Geese return to the dams for some years. We hope that will take up permanent residence. Several herons have returned and are a common sight in the trees on the island in the Lower Dam.

For further information, booking for events and any offers of assistance in any form please contact us, estate@hillsidedams .com. Don't forget the website www.hillsidedams. com.

NOTICE is hereby given of the Annual General Meeting of the Verity Amm Centre to be held on Wednesday, 2nd April, 2008 at the Verity Amm Hall at 2.30 p.m. All welcome.

Help rescue a Zimbabwean Old Age Pensioner.

Dear ex-Zimbabwean or Concerned Citizen,

From the receipts from sales of my book, The Jackal's Head, R15.00 per copy sold will be donated to the SOAP (Save Old Age Pensioners) fund set up in Botswana to provide Zimbabwean OAPs with food and the basic essentials of life following the devastating effects on their lives of Mugabe's misrule.

Of the R75.00 received, costs include: VAT R9.21, postage R26.38, printing per copy R21.00, as well as bank and credit card payment charges (total R56.59). Please visit my website www.thejackalshead. com http://www.thejacka lshead.com for The Jackal's Head, my first title in the genre mix of African Saga and American Thriller. Then read the reviews and get your copy directly from me at R75.00 (inclusive of airmail postage anywhere in the world). I'm certain that a page-turning thriller that will carry you on a roller-coaster ride across three continents as well as being a commentary on the contemporary history of Zimbabwe is exactly what you need before turning out the lights. Should you wish for your copy to be signed, kindly request this through the link 'Contact Us'. I'd be grateful if you would forward this on to others who you feel might be interested.
Sincerely,
Paul Jaffa.

Paradise Plundered By Jim Barker.

It is the diary of a Zimbabwean family that were forcibly evicted from their Karoi farm during the highly controversial 'land grab'. It takes you back to Jim's birthplace in Malawi; Prince Edward School; Boss Lilford's farm; PATU and the Police Reserve Air Wing in which he was trained in aerial reconnaissance. It relives the emotional roller coaster of the daily challenges and upheavals: droughts, floods, the Bush War and even wild animals. It is the story of a tightly-knit family, in a close farming community, who all experienced the traumatic and often brutal farm invasions. The Barker family resisted this onslaught for eight long years before finally being evicted in 2003.

Jim allows the reader to travel with him to UK, Europe and the USA, interspersed with holidays in Mozambique, his delightful sense of humour comes out in the countless anecdotes.

I am looking for information about my grandfather Russell George Lawrence West (aka Rusty). He moved to Rhodesia in the 50's and worked at Puzey & Diss in Bulawayo as a mechanic.

At one stage he remarried a woman called Elizabeth (Liz) but I don't know her maiden name.
