 Salima, Malawi is an area of extreme poverty and an area that has keenly felt the effects of the AIDS epidemic in Africa - hundreds of children in Salima alone have lost one or both of their parents, and find themselves orphaned and in desperate conditions at a very young age.
It's to these children that the Neighbour Mission Salima (NM Salima) orphan care program ministers by placing them with caregiver families (their relatives or close... |

 By Hanna Luong as referenced in Winter 2012In early August, while preparing for my impending trek to Malawi with Word & Deed, John Otten was explaining the difference between optical and digital zoom to me.

 The road to the Manja Safe House is a bumpy one. The home that was chosen as the Safe House for children suspected of being "witches" had to be a rural site, because the of the nature of the project.
