NURSING SERVICE

I am a Zimbabwean trying to remain in Zimbabwe. I am a farmer's wife, mother, daughter, currently registered general nurse and midwife - trained in the days when nursing was an important skill and vocation. I am setting up a service to visit relatives left in care when their families left Zimbabwe. I will be operating from Harare.  I think that there are many people who left Zimbabwe with heavy hearts because they had to leave behind parents who could not move or did not want to move when their children left the country. The children who emigrated may be looking for someone who can visit their parents (or other relatives) and check up on them. Check to see how their health (physical, emotional, mental) is; check to see if they need anything done for them; be a substitute daughter and give regular accurate reports on their well being. This is the service that I am offering to provide for a small fee. I have worked with old people and have experience of their needs. As a daughter, I know how important it is to know exactly how your parent is and how difficult it is to know from a distance.

The problem that I am facing is in advertising this service.

My phone number is Zim. 91 603621 or I can be reached at the e-mail address on this letter.

References can be supplied.

Yours sincerely,
Margaret Low.

The Zimbabwe Council of Churches

Invites member churches and all Christians for a Day of National Prayers. We wish to pray for the nation in the following areas:

  • Talks

  • Reconciliation

  • The two political parties

  • Non-violent society v Good rainy season

  • Farmers

  • Peace and Justice

We encourage churches to organise services in their churches around these areas on Sunday 16 November 2003.

Our nation has been going through a crisis for a long time now. For us Christians there is no way such a crisis can be solved without prayer.

It is therefore for this reason that we are inviting all churches and Christians to pray for this nation.

We are happy to inform those who want to participate that fellow Christians and churches in South Africa, Malawi, Zambia, Namibia and Mozambique are also praying for Zimbabwe to enjoy peace, justice and prosperity once more.

We therefore call upon all to do what you can and earnestly pray to God to intervene in our situation and crisis.

NEWS ON JUSTIN

A very sweet lady came around this morning and kindly donated some lovely little longs, shirt and other clothes plus some toys and books, it was so good of her. She read your appeal in the Morning Mirror.

Yesterday Justin was presented with the child's wheelchair, well, we were all in tears, I had to run upstairs and get a toilet roll for us all. (no tissues) It was the most wonderful experience to see this little boy receive the chair from Michelle Keefs children and his face was a picture.

Please let people know how he is progressing, he will be fitted with his splints next Tuesday. So it is all happening !

Many thanks Ro

Looking for somewhere different to go?

Mjingwe is the home of Touch Africa Safaris. It is situated in the Bubiana Conservancy in West Nicholson,   It is a three and a half hour drive from Bulawayo.

The lodge has four chalets with two double beds in each. A bathroom en suit that was designed with women in mind. There is a large lounge/dining area, separate lapa and a beautiful swimming pool. The lodge overlooks a waterhole where game can be viewed through the day.

There is plenty of game viewing opportunity.  Excellent 4x4 trails, easy walks, game blinds for those who like to sit and watch the comings and goings of nature.

For those who wish to hunt we have an exciting plains game quota that is ideal for teaching the kids to hunt.  The meat would go into the ranch's butchery unless prior arrangements are made when booking.

Mjingwe ranch, a piece of paradise that the Collett family is happy to share with wildlife/outdoor lovers.

STABLE MANAGER

I am not looking for a stable manager, I do have a two-roomed cottage in Burnside for which I would like the right tenant. It is VERY secure as I have a guard at night and it is inside a secure fence and I am linked to armed response. Rent will not be big but I do want somebody who might be able to help out now and then especially with the cats when I go on holiday. A small non-cat chasing dog would be OK and of course any cats.

Thanks Jill Davies. Contact phone 242882
