In April 2010 Bishop Telesphore reported:
More than 3000 people have been heard the Gospel of Christ and given the platform for reconciliation promoting peace and a spiritually sound society between the people groups of Burundi while during distribution of total 3 shipping containers you sent. We preached the message of Jesus Christ and message of reconciliation before doing distribution to the beneficiaries.
The orphan, students, widows , hospitals and poor people have benefited all the 3 shipped containers you sent to Burundi Parables Christian Ministries.
- Christian churches have benefited a lot.
- 3 Sewing machines centers have been set up.
- Conferences and crusades have been started since I received the generator
- Internet CAFÉ
- Hair dressing salom.
Micro finance: Since we started micro-finance to help ladies, we progressed so much. By now we have 69 ladies who were unable to support themselves but after doing the business of Micro-finance those ladies are capable to pay their rent, daily nourrishment, feeding their children and paying school materials and clothing.
Sewing Centre: We have set up 3 sewing machine centers such as cibitoke, Ngozi and Nyanza-Lac.
Sewing Centre at Kinama: we haven't started to use the container at Kinama because it needs more funds to transform the container. This is the budget needed to transform the container. I have taken a sample of 20ft container transformed to be used as a house. That what it needs to be.
Be well in Jesus

Dear Gael,
Am so sorry for replying late this is because we have been very busy distributing aid with the Government.The Government of Zambia is so happy with items you sent and now our partnership with them is very strong and they have promised that next time a similar consignment is sent they will provide transport from the port to Zambia.The medical equipments have been taken to newly constructed hospitals in rural areas which have no single equipment and so far this is the only amazing donation the Government has seen after a very long time.We are very much humbled by this donation and we only pray that this partnership will continue so that many lives in this nation will be touched by the love of God.May God continue to bless the works of your mission.
Best Regards

The container included 3 tractors, assorted agricultural equipment, a motorcycle, hospital equipment, computers, and sewing machines. It was sent by MWA on behalf of a group at Keith, South Australia. In March 2010 the recipients in Soroti wrote the following:
Dear Gael Harrison,
I just want to thank you for sending a second container in conjunction with Joseph Odeke's Foundation to us here in Soroti, Katakwi particularly Omodoi Sub County.
The container arrived safely and Joseph himself flew to Uganda to confirm that, the contents were intact and we made sure that the intended beneficiaries got the items as intended by you and the foundation.
Therefore on behalf of the people over here, i wish to convey gratitude to your firm for once more extending a helping hand to our needy and resettling internally displaced people (IDPs). The help you and Odeke's Foundation arranged for the people has gone a long way to alleviate their suffering.
I wish you God's Blessings in your noble acts of thinking about the plight of our people, I pray you have long life continue doing that.
Yours Faithfully

Container 101, The Joseph Project, Israel. Sent August 2009
The container included furniture, an organ, diapers, and 771 boxes of goods.
Mission World Aid works with The Joseph Project in Israel, sending containers of aid which are distributed throughout Israel. The Joseph Project is an Israeli registered Public Institution with a network of 30 independent humanitarian aid centers, also supplying nearly every nonprofit in Israel, such as the IDF Ministry of Welfare offices, hospitals, paramedics, institutions for the elderly, sheltered, and disabled, victims of terror, and the unemployed.
Helping 60,000 to 70,000 people per year, The Joseph Project is run from a 16,000 square-foot warehouse that can hold 100 large shipping containers. Since 2000, The Joseph Project has imported over 310 containers of aid into Israel that is donated by lovers of Israel – the Christian community and Messianic Jews.
Recently The Joseph Project truck made its way to the Israeli Arab city of Qalansuwa in the center of Israel, for a delivery of clothing for needy residents. The Welfare Office in the city received the delivery.
According to The Joseph Project, the highest need for an aid center serving the general public in Israel is diapers. MWA sent $450 worth in this container which assisted many mothers in Israel.
| The J oseph Project wrote in their Newsletter (31/1/2010): "Sixty new blue sweatshirts from Mission World Aid are currently being distributed via the Fire Department Commander at the Kiryat Shmona regional fire station per his request on behalf of the firemen in the area of Mount Hermon. This region is quite cold in winter, with snow on the mountains. Most of the activity in Israel happens in the center of the country, and the upper north and lower south tend to get forgotten about. Yet because they are so far away from the occupational centers of the country, they need more help, and they do cry out for it, as in this case. Isn’t it a great feeling to be able to supply, when they ask for assistance?" |
