I want to spend my life
00:00:02.00\00:00:07.97
Mending broken people
00:00:08.00\00:00:12.84
I want to spend my life
00:00:12.87\00:00:19.05
Removing pain
00:00:19.08\00:00:24.12
Lord, let my words
00:00:24.15\00:00:30.43
Heal a heart that hurts
00:00:30.46\00:00:34.93
I want to spend my life
00:00:34.96\00:00:40.74
Mending broken people
00:00:40.77\00:00:46.11
I want to spend my life
00:00:46.14\00:00:51.71
Mending broken people
00:00:51.75\00:00:55.52
Hello, I'm Shelley Quinn.
00:01:09.90\00:01:11.27
I'm JD Quinn.
00:01:11.30\00:01:12.63
And we are so glad that
you are joining us today.
00:01:12.67\00:01:15.37
Amen.
00:01:15.40\00:01:16.74
We have two
precious souls with us today.
00:01:16.77\00:01:18.64
Women who walk by faith
00:01:18.67\00:01:20.54
and, boy, are dedicated
and sold out to the Lord.
00:01:20.58\00:01:24.35
We want to thank you
00:01:24.38\00:01:26.18
for your prayers, and your love,
00:01:26.21\00:01:27.85
and your
financial support of 3ABN.
00:01:27.88\00:01:30.62
And, you know, I was
telling someone earlier,
00:01:30.65\00:01:32.95
there are times
when 3ABN is wondering,
00:01:32.99\00:01:36.79
has wondered how
we're gonna meet our bills,
00:01:36.83\00:01:40.00
but I believe that one
of the reasons that 3ABN
00:01:40.03\00:01:43.53
has had God's
blessing on it for so long
00:01:43.57\00:01:46.90
is because we're always
showcasing other ministries.
00:01:46.94\00:01:50.07
Amen.
00:01:50.11\00:01:51.44
And we just trust God.
00:01:51.47\00:01:53.64
So we want to thank you
for your support of 3ABN
00:01:53.68\00:01:58.28
and the
ministries that we showcase.
00:01:58.31\00:02:00.85
Before we introduce our guest,
00:02:00.88\00:02:03.15
let me share a
scripture with you.
00:02:03.18\00:02:05.59
This is from Matthew 25:35,
00:02:05.62\00:02:08.52
and Jesus is talking
and He's told a story
00:02:08.56\00:02:13.56
and He's talking
about the king returning
00:02:13.60\00:02:16.13
and at His right
hand, He'll say,"
00:02:16.16\00:02:18.03
Come you blessed of My Father
00:02:18.07\00:02:21.50
and inherit the
kingdom that He has founded."
00:02:21.54\00:02:26.17
And then he says in verse 35,
00:02:26.21\00:02:29.44
"For I was hungry
and you gave Me food,
00:02:29.48\00:02:32.65
I was thirsty and
you gave Me drink,
00:02:32.68\00:02:35.42
I was a stranger
and you took Me in."
00:02:35.45\00:02:38.99
And they're saying, "When Lord?
00:02:39.02\00:02:42.12
When did these things happen?"
00:02:42.16\00:02:44.03
And he said,
00:02:44.06\00:02:45.39
"Whatever you've done
to the least of these,
00:02:45.43\00:02:47.73
you've done to Me."
00:02:47.76\00:02:49.16
So let me
introduce our special guest.
00:02:49.20\00:02:52.70
First, we have Jasmin Jacob
00:02:52.73\00:02:55.44
and Jasmin is the president
of REACH International.
00:02:55.47\00:03:00.31
What does REACH
stand for, Jasmin?
00:03:00.34\00:03:03.38
REACH stands for
00:03:03.41\00:03:04.75
Render
Effective Aid to Children.
00:03:04.78\00:03:08.18
Render
Effective Aid To Children.
00:03:08.22\00:03:11.15
We're gonna hear your
story and it's so exciting,
00:03:11.19\00:03:14.42
and then we have
Lois Prest with us.
00:03:14.46\00:03:17.96
And, Lois, you are
a volunteer actually,
00:03:17.99\00:03:21.43
as president,
you are a volunteer
00:03:21.46\00:03:23.43
for REACH International, Jasmin,
00:03:23.47\00:03:25.77
but, Lois, you are a volunteer
00:03:25.80\00:03:28.04
and the director of
the Tanzania Project?
00:03:28.07\00:03:30.87
Correct? Yes, that's correct.
00:03:30.91\00:03:32.67
Well, we want to thank you.
00:03:32.71\00:03:34.71
We can't wait to hear
their personal stories
00:03:34.74\00:03:38.35
and how God is using
them in such magnificent way.
00:03:38.38\00:03:43.59
But first, Honey,
everybody likes music.
00:03:43.62\00:03:46.05
Amen.
00:03:46.09\00:03:47.49
And we're blessed
with Paulo Torres.
00:03:47.52\00:03:50.89
He's going to be
playing on his violin,
00:03:50.93\00:03:53.46
"The love of God."
00:03:53.50\00:03:54.83
Amen.
00:03:54.86\00:03:56.20
That was incredible.
00:09:09.04\00:09:10.95
Amen.
00:09:10.98\00:09:12.31
Well, you talk about
talent. Thank you, Jesus.
00:09:12.35\00:09:14.78
And that he
uses it for the Lord.
00:09:14.82\00:09:16.72
Thank you, Jesus.
00:09:16.75\00:09:18.09
Well, if you're
joining us just a moment late,
00:09:18.12\00:09:20.22
our special guests are
Jasmin Jacob and Lois Prest
00:09:20.26\00:09:24.19
and they are with
REACH International.
00:09:24.23\00:09:26.56
But before we get
into the amazing work
00:09:26.59\00:09:31.67
that you ladies have volunteered
00:09:31.70\00:09:33.67
and, Jasmin,
you've given your life
00:09:33.70\00:09:35.94
to this as a volunteer really,
00:09:35.97\00:09:38.47
a better portion of your life,
00:09:38.51\00:09:40.84
tell me about growing up.
00:09:40.88\00:09:43.68
Tell us did you grow
up in a Christian home?
00:09:43.71\00:09:46.51
I grew up in Sri Lanka.
00:09:46.55\00:09:48.58
My father was one
of the early pastors
00:09:48.62\00:09:52.45
because at that time the
church just started there.
00:09:52.49\00:09:56.52
But he died in
a traffic accident
00:09:56.56\00:10:00.50
when I was four, so
I don't remember him.
00:10:00.53\00:10:03.23
We had four children.
00:10:03.26\00:10:04.60
The youngest was
born the day he died.
00:10:04.63\00:10:07.40
And so mother had
four children to raise.
00:10:07.44\00:10:09.84
Bless your mama's heart.
00:10:09.87\00:10:11.21
So, did your
mother ever remarried?
00:10:11.24\00:10:13.38
No, she never remarried.
00:10:13.41\00:10:14.78
She took care of us.
00:10:14.81\00:10:16.44
She sent us to
the Adventist school.
00:10:16.48\00:10:19.75
The church and
my mother raised us.
00:10:19.78\00:10:22.75
How precious.
00:10:22.78\00:10:24.12
But now, she had to
be a woman of great faith
00:10:24.15\00:10:27.89
because you didn't
have money, did you?
00:10:27.92\00:10:30.03
No.
00:10:30.06\00:10:31.53
She was a woman of faith
00:10:31.56\00:10:32.89
and we had to exercise our faith
00:10:32.93\00:10:35.86
even as children.
00:10:35.90\00:10:37.27
Because now we know
00:10:37.30\00:10:38.87
because of the emotional trauma,
00:10:38.90\00:10:41.04
she used to get chest pains.
00:10:41.07\00:10:43.04
And we thought she
had heart problems.
00:10:43.07\00:10:45.67
And when she get chest
pains, all of us would pray.
00:10:45.71\00:10:48.94
We don't know what
else to do for her.
00:10:48.98\00:10:51.15
We prayed and she would
tell us to boil some garlic.
00:10:51.18\00:10:55.58
We could do that. Yeah.
00:10:55.62\00:10:57.02
And give her the
water and she'll get well.
00:10:57.05\00:11:00.49
Now you also told me though
00:11:00.52\00:11:02.19
that if you
needed a pair of shoes
00:11:02.22\00:11:04.13
or whatever you
need it, you prayed for.
00:11:04.16\00:11:06.90
I prayed for the pair of shoes
one time with four buckles.
00:11:06.93\00:11:12.03
Because my friend
who's from America,
00:11:12.07\00:11:14.27
missionary's child and
I were very close friends.
00:11:14.30\00:11:18.77
She had a pair of
shoes with four buckles.
00:11:18.81\00:11:21.44
I prayed for one.
00:11:21.48\00:11:22.81
I not only got
the pair of shoes,
00:11:22.84\00:11:28.12
I got a dress to match.
00:11:28.15\00:11:29.48
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:11:29.52\00:11:30.95
So you've learned to
walk by faith early on.
00:11:30.99\00:11:34.39
How about you Lois?
00:11:34.42\00:11:35.76
Did you grow up
in a Christian home?
00:11:35.79\00:11:37.86
Yes, both my
parents and my grandparents.
00:11:37.89\00:11:41.33
Yes, both are Christian homes,
morning and evening worships.
00:11:41.36\00:11:45.40
Praise the Lord.
00:11:45.43\00:11:46.77
So you grew up
00:11:46.80\00:11:48.14
in a Seventh-day
Adventist Christian home, right?
00:11:48.17\00:11:49.50
Oh, yes, absolutely.
00:11:49.54\00:11:50.87
Yeah, and when did
it become real for you?
00:11:50.91\00:11:52.81
Now with someone like Jasmin,
00:11:52.84\00:11:56.38
when you have to
pray for a pair of shoes,
00:11:56.41\00:11:59.18
God becomes real in a hurry.
00:11:59.21\00:12:01.78
When did it become
real for you, Lois?
00:12:01.82\00:12:06.59
Well, when I left home,
00:12:06.62\00:12:08.69
I had the
opportunity to go my own way
00:12:08.72\00:12:12.63
and that's what I did
for a number of years.
00:12:12.66\00:12:15.73
And so it was quite a long time
00:12:15.76\00:12:17.43
before I finally knew
00:12:17.47\00:12:19.53
that there was only
one place I should be.
00:12:19.57\00:12:21.47
Amen. Amen.
00:12:21.50\00:12:23.34
But since you've come
back now, what was your career?
00:12:23.37\00:12:29.24
I'm a family nurse practitioner.
00:12:29.28\00:12:31.48
Okay.
00:12:31.51\00:12:32.91
I worked at the hospital
in Atlanta for 23.5 years
00:12:32.95\00:12:37.02
before I retired.
00:12:37.05\00:12:38.39
Okay. Amen.
00:12:38.42\00:12:39.75
Now, we want to set all that up
00:12:39.79\00:12:42.02
because now you are a full
time volunteer in Tanzania.
00:12:42.06\00:12:47.23
But let's go back to
what is REACH international?
00:12:47.26\00:12:51.40
Render
Effective Aid to Children.
00:12:51.43\00:12:55.90
This is your
baby, as you call it.
00:12:55.94\00:12:58.04
God put it on your
heart to birth this ministry.
00:12:58.07\00:13:03.28
Tell us how REACH began?
00:13:03.31\00:13:07.35
First of all, I have to say,
00:13:07.38\00:13:08.72
I grew up as an
Adventist in our schools.
00:13:08.75\00:13:12.02
And you know, every Friday,
00:13:12.05\00:13:13.79
you get up and
consecrate your life
00:13:13.82\00:13:15.29
in service to God.
00:13:15.32\00:13:17.13
When we graduated,
00:13:17.16\00:13:19.73
we came to America
for further education.
00:13:19.76\00:13:24.23
And I was a teacher.
00:13:24.27\00:13:26.23
And I tried to
find work in the church,
00:13:26.27\00:13:27.94
I thought, oh, I'll
have a job in the church.
00:13:27.97\00:13:30.74
They said no, we
have too many teachers,
00:13:30.77\00:13:32.61
we have no job for you.
00:13:32.64\00:13:34.14
You have to find a job outside.
00:13:34.18\00:13:36.61
And that broke my heart
00:13:36.64\00:13:37.98
because I said that
I've dedicated my life
00:13:38.01\00:13:40.38
to service to God.
00:13:40.42\00:13:41.95
And now I have to go and
work in the public sector
00:13:41.98\00:13:45.85
and I was very unhappy.
00:13:45.89\00:13:47.22
Yeah.
00:13:47.26\00:13:48.59
And I said, "How can we help
00:13:48.62\00:13:50.66
the work of God in
India and Sri Lanka?"
00:13:50.69\00:13:53.80
My husband is from India.
00:13:53.83\00:13:55.46
So we took the summer vacation
00:13:55.50\00:13:58.17
and packed lots
of material and went
00:13:58.20\00:14:00.47
and did workshops in India.
00:14:00.50\00:14:03.34
And we traveled all
the way from the north,
00:14:03.37\00:14:05.07
all the way down to
south and to Sri Lanka.
00:14:05.11\00:14:07.41
We did nine
workshops and at that time,
00:14:07.44\00:14:09.74
we saw all these hungry children
00:14:09.78\00:14:12.21
in the bus
stations and train stations
00:14:12.25\00:14:14.92
begging for food.
00:14:14.95\00:14:16.38
And we said,
00:14:16.42\00:14:17.75
"What is our
responsibility for them,
00:14:17.79\00:14:19.25
if not for the grace of God,
00:14:19.29\00:14:21.02
we could be on the
streets like that."
00:14:21.06\00:14:23.39
And some of them
are born on the street.
00:14:23.43\00:14:25.23
Yeah.
00:14:25.26\00:14:26.59
They live on the streets
and they die on the streets.
00:14:26.63\00:14:27.96
Yeah, yeah.
00:14:28.00\00:14:29.40
Same thing in the refugee camps
00:14:29.43\00:14:30.83
where we are
sponsoring some children
00:14:30.87\00:14:33.20
in the Burma Thai border there.
00:14:33.23\00:14:35.30
Those kids for 30-40 years
are in these refugee camps.
00:14:35.34\00:14:39.37
So when we saw all of that,
00:14:39.41\00:14:42.21
we said, "How can,
what is our responsibility
00:14:42.24\00:14:45.01
to God and to men?"
00:14:45.05\00:14:46.98
And in one
place, we saw some kids
00:14:47.02\00:14:49.45
that were sponsored
00:14:49.48\00:14:50.89
that were going to
school by some CCF,
00:14:50.92\00:14:54.62
I think it is called
Christian Children's Fund.
00:14:54.66\00:14:57.63
And we said, "Why can't
we do something like that?"
00:14:57.66\00:15:00.36
So when we came home,
00:15:00.40\00:15:02.10
we called some
missionaries who had known,
00:15:02.13\00:15:05.90
who had been in
India, who know the poverty,
00:15:05.93\00:15:08.60
and we started REACH in 1973.
00:15:08.64\00:15:12.01
1973?
00:15:12.04\00:15:13.38
This is our 46th
year of operating.
00:15:13.41\00:15:15.51
My goodness.
00:15:15.54\00:15:16.88
Forty six years as a volunteer.
00:15:16.91\00:15:19.51
I want to just,
00:15:19.55\00:15:20.92
I'm going to
repeat this several times.
00:15:20.95\00:15:23.12
Because anyone in administration
00:15:23.15\00:15:25.92
with REACH international
volunteers their time,
00:15:25.95\00:15:30.33
and I think that's
amazing that as the president,
00:15:30.36\00:15:34.60
I mean, you said that God
has always met your needs.
00:15:34.63\00:15:40.07
Yeah.
00:15:40.10\00:15:41.44
But you've had to walk by faith
00:15:41.47\00:15:42.80
in your personal life
as well as the ministry.
00:15:42.84\00:15:44.87
Yeah.
00:15:44.91\00:15:46.24
Because you've
been working full time
00:15:46.27\00:15:47.61
for 46 years with something
00:15:47.64\00:15:49.31
for which you were
not paid or compensated.
00:15:49.34\00:15:51.25
Yeah.
00:15:51.28\00:15:52.61
Except, well, I can...
00:15:52.65\00:15:53.98
God. Amen. Amen.
00:15:54.02\00:15:55.35
Not the moolah but from above.
00:15:55.38\00:15:58.25
He's a great provider.
00:15:58.29\00:15:59.62
So tell us about
00:15:59.65\00:16:02.19
what's happened
in these 46 years.
00:16:02.22\00:16:04.19
How many countries are
you, how many children?
00:16:04.23\00:16:06.09
We have worked in
more than 30 countries.
00:16:06.13\00:16:09.23
Right now we are working in 21.
00:16:09.26\00:16:12.83
The reason is like Romania,
we worked there for many years.
00:16:12.87\00:16:16.94
We were in Rwanda,
when the massacre happened.
00:16:16.97\00:16:19.87
We started there in '47.
00:16:19.91\00:16:21.68
But as these countries change,
then we have to change too.
00:16:21.71\00:16:25.95
Romania, we are
not doing anymore,
00:16:25.98\00:16:27.48
because Romania is
now not good anymore.
00:16:27.52\00:16:31.82
Okay.
00:16:31.85\00:16:33.19
Rwanda, they
don't want orphanages.
00:16:33.22\00:16:35.39
So we are not there now.
00:16:35.42\00:16:36.76
But in the past,
00:16:36.79\00:16:38.13
we have worked in
more than 30 countries.
00:16:38.16\00:16:40.06
And so you're in 21 countries?
00:16:40.10\00:16:41.53
Twenty one now at this point.
00:16:41.56\00:16:43.03
And how many
children? Nearly 20,000.
00:16:43.06\00:16:46.43
This is absolutely amazing.
00:16:46.47\00:16:48.00
REACH has five branch offices,
I can't take all the credit.
00:16:48.04\00:16:52.21
Italian branch is very big.
00:16:52.24\00:16:54.74
Okay.
00:16:54.78\00:16:56.11
But currently,
00:16:56.14\00:16:57.78
you are feeding a
response for 20,000 children?
00:16:57.81\00:17:01.88
Yes, around the
world, in these 21 countries.
00:17:01.92\00:17:05.55
That's amazing.
00:17:05.59\00:17:06.92
But it's not just
that, a feeding program.
00:17:06.96\00:17:09.36
No. You're educating them.
00:17:09.39\00:17:11.93
Education is
salvation for the children.
00:17:11.96\00:17:14.73
We feel if we take a poor child,
00:17:14.76\00:17:16.67
give him an education,
00:17:16.70\00:17:18.23
he can feed
himself and feed his family
00:17:18.27\00:17:21.17
and then we teach him
00:17:21.20\00:17:22.54
that God is
their father in heaven.
00:17:22.57\00:17:23.97
Yeah.
00:17:24.01\00:17:25.34
And so they have
eternity too. Amen.
00:17:25.37\00:17:27.11
And how many children
have been through REACH
00:17:27.14\00:17:29.04
over the last 46 years?
00:17:29.08\00:17:30.41
More than 2
million, I would say.
00:17:30.45\00:17:32.28
Praise the Lord,
that's just amazing.
00:17:32.31\00:17:34.45
So obviously,
00:17:34.48\00:17:35.82
much fruit has been
produced from these children
00:17:35.85\00:17:38.85
that have been fed and educated.
00:17:38.89\00:17:40.96
Yeah, wherever we go, we
meet former REACH students.
00:17:40.99\00:17:44.96
My Facebook is full of them.
00:17:44.99\00:17:47.53
And some of them
have done extremely well.
00:17:47.56\00:17:50.03
Tell us about
some of your students?
00:17:50.07\00:17:51.93
There's one who's
a doctor in London,
00:17:51.97\00:17:54.70
he's from Romania.
00:17:54.74\00:17:56.50
And he called me when
I was in the hospital.
00:17:56.54\00:17:59.37
And he was advising me
how to take my medicine.
00:17:59.41\00:18:02.54
How precious.
00:18:02.58\00:18:04.55
Yeah, there are lawyers,
judges, teachers, pastors,
00:18:04.58\00:18:07.82
secretaries, you name it,
00:18:07.85\00:18:09.62
they're all
over and some of them
00:18:09.65\00:18:11.85
are working for
REACH in our own schools.
00:18:11.89\00:18:14.16
Yeah. Praise the Lord.
00:18:14.19\00:18:16.12
Praise the Lord.
00:18:16.16\00:18:17.49
Lois.
00:18:17.53\00:18:19.06
How did you get
involved with REACH?
00:18:19.09\00:18:22.93
Well, I had a cousin,
who had been in Brazil,
00:18:22.96\00:18:28.97
and she wanted to do something
00:18:29.00\00:18:30.44
for those in
Brazil and she connected
00:18:30.47\00:18:34.64
with a Brazilian
woman and her husband.
00:18:34.68\00:18:37.41
And they knew Jasmin and
after the trip to Brazil,
00:18:37.45\00:18:42.38
they started doing more
trips, but this time for REACH.
00:18:42.42\00:18:47.09
And I went on two
trips to Tanzania,
00:18:47.12\00:18:51.39
back in 2011, March, and
again in December of 2012.
00:18:51.43\00:18:58.17
And those worked
for REACH in Tanzania.
00:18:58.20\00:19:01.67
And then in
2016, after I retired,
00:19:01.70\00:19:07.91
I'm looking for what I
want to do for my next career.
00:19:07.94\00:19:10.78
Amen.
00:19:10.81\00:19:12.15
And I said to the husband, Rob,
00:19:12.18\00:19:15.45
what do you know
about this country?
00:19:15.48\00:19:17.25
And he says, "Well,
I don't know anything
00:19:17.29\00:19:18.62
about that country.
00:19:18.65\00:19:19.99
But I know that
Tanzania needs somebody."
00:19:20.02\00:19:23.12
I said, "Okay, I'll
go to Tanzania then."
00:19:23.16\00:19:27.16
Praise the Lord.
00:19:27.20\00:19:28.53
So we ran the
phone a few days later,
00:19:28.56\00:19:30.80
and arrangements were made
00:19:30.83\00:19:32.30
and within six
weeks, I was in Tanzania.
00:19:32.33\00:19:35.07
That was in 2016.
00:19:35.10\00:19:37.11
And you work full
time as a volunteer.
00:19:37.14\00:19:39.94
Tell us about the village
00:19:39.97\00:19:42.18
that you all have
built in Tanzania.
00:19:42.21\00:19:45.98
It's called
REACH, Village of Hope.
00:19:46.01\00:19:48.65
It's the name of the orphanage.
00:19:48.68\00:19:51.05
And then there's the
Hope pre and primary school,
00:19:51.09\00:19:55.49
Adventist school which
is the elementary school
00:19:55.52\00:19:58.56
that the orphans attend.
00:19:58.59\00:20:00.20
We also take
some of the children
00:20:00.23\00:20:02.00
from outside the
orphanage to the school.
00:20:02.03\00:20:05.13
So we have about 200
children in the school.
00:20:05.17\00:20:08.10
And there's 138 in
the orphanage right now.
00:20:08.14\00:20:11.07
And that's when we
talk about a village now.
00:20:11.11\00:20:14.38
You know, we want
to give a shout out
00:20:14.41\00:20:16.75
to the one day church project
00:20:16.78\00:20:19.11
because I know Garwin McNeilus
has supported your ministry
00:20:19.15\00:20:23.55
with a great gusto if you will.
00:20:23.59\00:20:26.59
So you have eight
homes. Is that for children?
00:20:26.62\00:20:29.26
There's 12 children homes.
00:20:29.29\00:20:31.03
Twelve children's home
and administrative building.
00:20:31.06\00:20:34.06
And we have nine classrooms
00:20:34.10\00:20:36.46
and an administration building
00:20:36.50\00:20:38.03
that was
initially used as a chapel.
00:20:38.07\00:20:40.60
And the dining hall and...
00:20:40.64\00:20:42.00
Oh, yes, of course,
00:20:42.04\00:20:43.37
the dining hall
and the guest house.
00:20:43.41\00:20:44.74
Oh, yes.
00:20:44.77\00:20:46.11
And watchmen's
house, many buildings.
00:20:46.14\00:20:47.48
And there's a mill
00:20:47.51\00:20:48.84
and there's
other buildings, yes.
00:20:48.88\00:20:50.21
Okay, and when we're
talking about this village,
00:20:50.25\00:20:52.61
how many children are
living there right now?
00:20:52.65\00:20:54.95
One hundred and thirty eight.
00:20:54.98\00:20:56.75
A hundred and thirty eight
kids in this little village?
00:20:56.79\00:20:59.95
And so you're feeding
them, you're educating them and,
00:20:59.99\00:21:02.29
well, you're caring
for them in every way.
00:21:02.32\00:21:05.86
And I'm sure as a
nurse practitioner,
00:21:05.89\00:21:07.56
that background, that experience
00:21:07.60\00:21:10.40
has come in quite handy there.
00:21:10.43\00:21:12.30
Definitely.
00:21:12.33\00:21:13.67
Yeah.
00:21:13.70\00:21:15.04
So when you are,
what is your water source?
00:21:15.07\00:21:19.87
Tell us about
Tanzania a little bit?
00:21:19.91\00:21:22.78
The orphanage is located
on the edge of Lake Victoria,
00:21:22.81\00:21:27.02
which is the second
largest lake in the world,
00:21:27.05\00:21:29.52
second to Lake Superior.
00:21:29.55\00:21:31.52
And so there is water.
00:21:31.55\00:21:34.12
But it isn't
clean water to drink.
00:21:34.16\00:21:38.53
So we have dug hand
dug wells before I arrived
00:21:38.56\00:21:42.90
and solar pumps were put in
00:21:42.93\00:21:44.53
by the Hagen's before I arrived.
00:21:44.57\00:21:47.10
And those are the
source of drinking water
00:21:47.14\00:21:50.01
and shower
water, household water
00:21:50.04\00:21:52.37
for the teacher's houses
00:21:52.41\00:21:54.14
as well as for the
children and for me,
00:21:54.18\00:21:57.78
and that provides
the drinking water.
00:21:57.81\00:22:00.52
We do have a need for
irrigation system and...
00:22:00.55\00:22:06.62
And probably you'd
like some deeper wells too.
00:22:06.65\00:22:10.36
Yes, we could
certainly use a borewell.
00:22:10.39\00:22:13.29
It would be thrilled to death
if we could get a borewell.
00:22:13.33\00:22:15.90
Amen.
00:22:15.93\00:22:17.27
We have
promises to the community
00:22:17.30\00:22:19.03
to give them a community well
00:22:19.07\00:22:21.17
for clean drinking
water for the community,
00:22:21.20\00:22:24.01
which we don't yet have
funds to provide for them.
00:22:24.04\00:22:27.31
But it's promised
00:22:27.34\00:22:28.98
and someday we hope we
can fulfill our promise.
00:22:29.01\00:22:31.35
Amen.
00:22:31.38\00:22:32.71
Now the Hagen's,
is that a family?
00:22:32.75\00:22:34.42
That is Burl and Daryl Hagen.
00:22:34.45\00:22:37.05
They were there for
since the very beginning,
00:22:37.09\00:22:39.89
almost the very beginning,
00:22:39.92\00:22:41.82
2010, and they were
there during all of that,
00:22:41.86\00:22:46.80
and when all the
children were admitted,
00:22:46.83\00:22:48.56
when all the
buildings were built.
00:22:48.60\00:22:50.63
They designed
some of the swing sets
00:22:50.67\00:22:54.50
and some of
those kinds of things
00:22:54.54\00:22:56.40
and did a lot of work there.
00:22:56.44\00:22:58.21
Wonderful.
00:22:58.24\00:22:59.57
So what is your youngest child
in Tanzania at your village?
00:22:59.61\00:23:03.55
The youngest one right
now is three years old.
00:23:03.58\00:23:06.61
We took him when he was two.
00:23:06.65\00:23:09.28
And it's been just.
00:23:09.32\00:23:10.65
He was abandoned?
00:23:10.69\00:23:12.02
Oh, yes, he was
totally abandoned.
00:23:12.05\00:23:13.99
It's just been
spectacular to see him blossom
00:23:14.02\00:23:17.33
from an
apathetic, malnourished child
00:23:17.36\00:23:22.50
into one that's happy
00:23:22.53\00:23:24.07
and one that loves to
be with the other children
00:23:24.10\00:23:26.30
and wants to ride a
bicycle 'cause they do.
00:23:26.33\00:23:28.50
And doesn't want his
mom out of his sight,
00:23:28.54\00:23:31.61
his house mother, you know,
00:23:31.64\00:23:33.38
will cry if she leaves him,
00:23:33.41\00:23:34.74
so and just loves to play
00:23:34.78\00:23:36.88
with all the
other boys and girls.
00:23:36.91\00:23:39.25
So, Jasmin, these children
00:23:39.28\00:23:42.28
are orphaned or
abandoned or destitute
00:23:42.32\00:23:46.19
and you know,
there are many families
00:23:46.22\00:23:49.12
in all these countries,
00:23:49.16\00:23:50.86
these 21 countries
are underdeveloped.
00:23:50.89\00:23:53.29
And there are many families
00:23:53.33\00:23:54.66
that can't even afford
to feed their children.
00:23:54.70\00:23:56.06
Yes.
00:23:56.10\00:23:57.43
So you end up with
some of those children.
00:23:57.47\00:23:58.80
And if they didn't come there,
00:23:58.83\00:24:00.17
they'd be getting
sold into sex slavery.
00:24:00.20\00:24:01.70
Yeah.
00:24:01.74\00:24:03.07
So what is your
greatest need right now?
00:24:03.10\00:24:09.24
Our greatest need is sponsors.
00:24:09.28\00:24:11.51
We have so many
kids without sponsors,
00:24:11.55\00:24:13.92
like this week,
00:24:13.95\00:24:15.28
I'm getting 30
children from Malawi.
00:24:15.32\00:24:17.19
Malawi is one of the
poorest countries in Africa.
00:24:17.22\00:24:20.06
They have no education.
00:24:20.09\00:24:21.99
They don't value
education, I'd say.
00:24:22.02\00:24:24.76
And there's,
00:24:24.79\00:24:27.00
lots of them are
starving because of...
00:24:27.03\00:24:31.33
Like one grandmother was
taking care of 15 children
00:24:31.37\00:24:34.27
because he had three children.
00:24:34.30\00:24:35.80
All three died of
AIDS and their spouses,
00:24:35.84\00:24:38.81
and left all the kids
for her to take care of
00:24:38.84\00:24:40.98
and she's telling me
these kids don't listen to me,
00:24:41.01\00:24:43.51
the 16 year old got pregnant.
00:24:43.55\00:24:45.75
So now she has 16
kids to take care of.
00:24:45.78\00:24:49.15
So children like that
without proper nourishment
00:24:49.18\00:24:53.52
or direction in life.
00:24:53.56\00:24:54.89
Yeah.
00:24:54.92\00:24:56.26
And so we were feeding them.
00:24:56.29\00:24:57.63
We've had a
feeding program there
00:24:57.66\00:24:58.99
for a number of years,
00:24:59.03\00:25:00.36
but I felt feeding
program is not doing
00:25:00.40\00:25:02.56
what we want to do.
00:25:02.60\00:25:03.93
We say education is salvation.
00:25:03.97\00:25:06.63
So we are doing a school,
00:25:06.67\00:25:09.84
the school is going
to start in September.
00:25:09.87\00:25:11.61
Praise God.
00:25:11.64\00:25:12.97
And so they are sending us
00:25:13.01\00:25:14.34
30 children first to begin with,
00:25:14.38\00:25:16.98
to find sponsors for so
we can pay the teachers.
00:25:17.01\00:25:20.72
So when you have, when
someone sponsors a child,
00:25:20.75\00:25:24.55
what is the cost
to sponsor a child
00:25:24.59\00:25:27.46
on a monthly basis?
00:25:27.49\00:25:28.82
It costs $30 a
month to sponsor a child.
00:25:28.86\00:25:30.99
Thirty dollars a
month, and how many?
00:25:31.03\00:25:34.90
It takes care of their food,
their education, their clothes,
00:25:34.93\00:25:38.37
their uniform,
housing if they need it,
00:25:38.40\00:25:42.17
medical help for
those who are in need.
00:25:42.20\00:25:44.41
Praise God, that's amazing.
00:25:44.44\00:25:45.77
Everything.
00:25:45.81\00:25:47.14
And every penny of
that is going there.
00:25:47.18\00:25:49.44
Because once again,
00:25:49.48\00:25:51.18
we just want to emphasize
00:25:51.21\00:25:53.11
that there are no
administrative salaries.
00:25:53.15\00:25:55.45
All of, all that is
given goes directly to them.
00:25:55.48\00:25:59.49
Because every
dollar we spend here
00:25:59.52\00:26:01.39
is food from a child's mouth.
00:26:01.42\00:26:03.12
Yeah, that's right.
00:26:03.16\00:26:04.49
If anybody gives us a donation,
00:26:04.53\00:26:06.43
100% of that donation goes
to the cost they give it for.
00:26:06.46\00:26:11.07
Sponsorship, I think 10% goes
for administrative expenses,
00:26:11.10\00:26:14.87
like mailing and those printing
and those kinds of things.
00:26:14.90\00:26:19.24
But 100% of
donations goes to the cause.
00:26:19.27\00:26:22.74
Praise the Lord. That's amazing.
00:26:22.78\00:26:25.41
You are 46 years
into this ministry.
00:26:25.45\00:26:30.65
Do you mind if we
talk about your age?
00:26:30.69\00:26:33.22
Not at all, praise God.
00:26:33.25\00:26:35.39
How old are you, Jasmin?
00:26:35.42\00:26:36.76
I am 84.
00:26:36.79\00:26:38.13
Eighty four.
00:26:38.16\00:26:41.33
We cannot, we want some of it,
00:26:41.36\00:26:43.57
whatever she's
eating and drinking,
00:26:43.60\00:26:45.30
we want some of it.
00:26:45.33\00:26:47.80
I think that's good genes.
00:26:47.84\00:26:49.67
But because you are 84,
00:26:49.70\00:26:53.54
it is time that
you're handing the reigns
00:26:53.58\00:26:56.08
over to someone else.
00:26:56.11\00:26:57.45
Because I don't want to
die and leave the foundation
00:26:57.48\00:27:00.72
floundering without the founder.
00:27:00.75\00:27:02.88
Yeah.
00:27:02.92\00:27:04.25
So while I'm still alive,
00:27:04.29\00:27:05.62
I want to make
sure that it is going,
00:27:05.65\00:27:07.62
getting a good
start and going well.
00:27:07.66\00:27:11.23
So, we were looking for somebody
00:27:11.26\00:27:15.26
and we ended up with
our kids taking over.
00:27:15.30\00:27:19.57
There's nobody
else, it's not a job.
00:27:19.60\00:27:21.67
We can't hire somebody as a job.
00:27:21.70\00:27:23.41
It's not a job.
00:27:23.44\00:27:24.77
It has to be a commitment. Yeah.
00:27:24.81\00:27:26.44
And my daughter and son-in-law,
00:27:26.47\00:27:28.31
they have no
children of their own.
00:27:28.34\00:27:30.65
So they have taken REACH.
00:27:30.68\00:27:33.21
And since 2015,
00:27:33.25\00:27:35.42
we moved it from
Berrien Springs to Maryland.
00:27:35.45\00:27:38.75
Okay, but when you
moved it to Maryland,
00:27:38.79\00:27:40.89
why did you have
to make that move?
00:27:40.92\00:27:42.79
Because if we want to
00:27:42.82\00:27:46.13
have Cheryl and
Gursen take care of it,
00:27:46.16\00:27:49.10
it had to go there
because they are volunteers,
00:27:49.13\00:27:51.47
they are not getting paid.
00:27:51.50\00:27:53.00
And she's a
musician. She plays the harp.
00:27:53.03\00:27:55.70
And so she has jobs there.
00:27:55.74\00:27:58.11
Berrien Springs is a village
00:27:58.14\00:27:59.67
and they won't be
anybody needing harp play
00:27:59.71\00:28:02.64
for a wedding or
for the party of,
00:28:02.68\00:28:04.65
but this is a
place that's established,
00:28:04.68\00:28:08.48
she plays for funeral home.
00:28:08.52\00:28:10.49
She plays. She's busy every day.
00:28:10.52\00:28:12.49
So she has work.
00:28:12.52\00:28:14.79
So we had to move REACH to DC
00:28:14.82\00:28:18.56
instead of them
coming to do here.
00:28:18.59\00:28:21.16
So is this kind of an interim
00:28:21.20\00:28:22.93
for your daughter and son-in-law
00:28:22.96\00:28:25.33
or are they as
passionate about this as you?
00:28:25.37\00:28:28.97
They are, they grew up with it.
00:28:29.00\00:28:30.77
Cheryl feels it's
her responsibility.
00:28:30.81\00:28:33.41
And...
00:28:33.44\00:28:34.78
But because they
have to work full time.
00:28:34.81\00:28:36.75
Yeah, they don't have the time.
00:28:36.78\00:28:38.11
Are you looking for
other administrative help
00:28:38.15\00:28:39.78
to help them?
00:28:39.81\00:28:41.15
Yes, we need
help, they need help.
00:28:41.18\00:28:42.52
Okay, so.
00:28:42.55\00:28:43.89
I am doing everything
I can from a distance.
00:28:43.92\00:28:45.25
But there's lots of things that
can be done from a distance.
00:28:45.29\00:28:49.36
Like, we can use writers
to write for the REACH report.
00:28:49.39\00:28:53.60
We need very badly
somebody to do video clips.
00:28:53.63\00:28:57.27
We have lots of
video for all these years.
00:28:57.30\00:28:59.67
Yeah.
00:28:59.70\00:29:01.04
And we need somebody to
put short programs together
00:29:01.07\00:29:03.74
like three minute,
four minute programs.
00:29:03.77\00:29:06.11
So we can use it for promotion.
00:29:06.14\00:29:08.54
Promotion has
gone down a little bit
00:29:08.58\00:29:11.11
since I gave it over at least.
00:29:11.15\00:29:14.72
Well, and I'm mean
00:29:14.75\00:29:16.38
you were doing this
in a full time job there,
00:29:16.42\00:29:18.95
working full time in doing this.
00:29:18.99\00:29:20.32
Yeah, they have
been working full time
00:29:20.36\00:29:21.72
and they are young and
their ideas are different.
00:29:21.76\00:29:26.26
They are catering to a
different audience, I'd say.
00:29:26.29\00:29:31.33
Okay.
00:29:31.37\00:29:32.70
The people I was
working with were old people.
00:29:32.73\00:29:37.54
And they have been sponsors
for 30-40 years, some of them.
00:29:37.57\00:29:40.54
Yeah.
00:29:40.58\00:29:41.91
And that group is dying off.
00:29:41.94\00:29:44.15
And so nowadays,
00:29:44.18\00:29:45.75
it's more the young
people that are sponsoring.
00:29:45.78\00:29:48.45
And so their
needs are different.
00:29:48.48\00:29:49.82
Yes.
00:29:49.85\00:29:51.19
So I have to accept that change.
00:29:51.22\00:29:52.82
I am praying God
to give me the grace.
00:29:52.85\00:29:55.69
Amen.
00:29:55.72\00:29:57.06
And God will
continue the good work.
00:29:57.09\00:29:58.43
Yes, it is His work,
without Him we can't do it.
00:29:58.46\00:30:01.00
Amen. Every step of the day.
00:30:01.03\00:30:02.36
You started off
as praying child.
00:30:02.40\00:30:04.30
Yes. Now as a praying adult.
00:30:04.33\00:30:05.67
Yeah. You
continue to go forward.
00:30:05.70\00:30:07.27
And REACH only
goes forward by prayer.
00:30:07.30\00:30:10.01
Many times I have
to stop and ask God,
00:30:10.04\00:30:12.34
I need to see
that Your hand is here
00:30:12.37\00:30:14.98
in this work, show me.
00:30:15.01\00:30:17.01
Amen.
00:30:17.05\00:30:18.38
And it comes, He
comes through. Amen.
00:30:18.41\00:30:19.95
Then I get strength
00:30:19.98\00:30:21.32
and I go for another few months.
00:30:21.35\00:30:22.88
Amen.
00:30:22.92\00:30:24.39
And I guess
you're just as energized
00:30:24.42\00:30:26.32
in your own way
running the Tanzania facility.
00:30:26.35\00:30:29.22
Is that right?
00:30:29.26\00:30:30.59
I have a vision
for what I would like
00:30:30.63\00:30:32.59
to see happen in Tanzania.
00:30:32.63\00:30:35.56
And my vision is that
00:30:35.60\00:30:38.03
these young men and
young women are trained there
00:30:38.07\00:30:42.64
to become
workers in God's cause.
00:30:42.67\00:30:45.14
Amen.
00:30:45.17\00:30:46.51
With such an army, sorry,
00:30:46.54\00:30:48.84
youth rightly
trained might furnish.
00:30:48.88\00:30:50.91
Amen.
00:30:50.95\00:30:52.28
From Education page 271,
00:30:52.31\00:30:54.15
"How soon the
message of a crucified,
00:30:54.18\00:30:58.02
risen and soon coming savior
00:30:58.05\00:30:59.79
would be spread
to all the world."
00:30:59.82\00:31:01.86
And I believe that
our goal there in Tanzania
00:31:01.89\00:31:05.16
is to train them today.
00:31:05.19\00:31:07.96
Not tomorrow, but today.
00:31:08.00\00:31:10.13
So we are teaching
these teenage boys and girls
00:31:10.17\00:31:13.44
to teach Sabbath school
classes for the little ones.
00:31:13.47\00:31:16.20
Praise God.
00:31:16.24\00:31:17.57
And we are having classes
and teaching them how to sew
00:31:17.61\00:31:21.64
and teaching them carpentry.
00:31:21.68\00:31:23.65
They now are
doing all of the sewing
00:31:23.68\00:31:25.71
of their own school uniforms.
00:31:25.75\00:31:27.42
They're sewing for
the watchman's uniforms,
00:31:27.45\00:31:30.85
for the house mother's uniforms.
00:31:30.89\00:31:32.52
Praise the Lord.
00:31:32.55\00:31:33.89
And... And the bricks.
00:31:33.92\00:31:35.42
Yes, they're learning to
do some other skills too.
00:31:35.46\00:31:38.99
Yes. Amen.
00:31:39.03\00:31:40.36
And they love it.
00:31:40.40\00:31:42.16
They love it. Yes.
00:31:42.20\00:31:43.80
So do you grow your own food?
00:31:43.83\00:31:45.43
I mean, are y'all
at that picker place?
00:31:45.47\00:31:47.87
Yeah, we have more than 60 acres
00:31:47.90\00:31:49.60
of land in Tanzania.
00:31:49.64\00:31:51.31
And we want to grow as
much of the food as we can.
00:31:51.34\00:31:53.84
Amen.
00:31:53.88\00:31:55.21
Yes, one of the rainwater
tank was to collect rainwater
00:31:55.24\00:31:58.68
to use for the school garden
00:31:58.71\00:32:00.92
and then we put
a very inadequate
00:32:00.95\00:32:03.69
but better than nothing line
00:32:03.72\00:32:06.09
from the lake with a diesel pump
00:32:06.12\00:32:08.49
to pump lake
water to the rice fields
00:32:08.52\00:32:11.23
and then also to
the rain water tank
00:32:11.26\00:32:14.06
when there is no rain.
00:32:14.10\00:32:15.50
So that also
can be used for rice
00:32:15.53\00:32:17.43
and for the school garden.
00:32:17.47\00:32:19.10
But now that
water is not portable,
00:32:19.13\00:32:20.90
it's not dirty, so
it's fine for the garden.
00:32:20.94\00:32:23.30
It's for the plants.
00:32:23.34\00:32:24.67
Okay, but you
have a separate system.
00:32:24.71\00:32:26.04
Oh yes, we have
the dug, hand dug wells
00:32:26.07\00:32:28.34
with the solar powered
pumps that are for the water
00:32:28.38\00:32:32.01
that they use for
drinking, and for showering,
00:32:32.05\00:32:34.48
and cooking, and household use.
00:32:34.52\00:32:36.05
You know, I'm
thinking that there's somebody
00:32:36.08\00:32:40.72
that's watching right
now and you're a well digger,
00:32:40.76\00:32:46.73
and you could
volunteer your time
00:32:46.76\00:32:49.73
to go over there and
do a borewell for them.
00:32:49.76\00:32:53.37
And it's not just in Tanzania,
00:32:53.40\00:32:55.44
you need wells
in Kenya, don't you?
00:32:55.47\00:32:56.81
Yeah, we need wells in Kenya.
00:32:56.84\00:32:58.47
We have Samburu people.
00:32:58.51\00:33:00.41
We are working in
the desert that need,
00:33:00.44\00:33:03.14
we need wells for them.
00:33:03.18\00:33:04.61
We have a couple of schools
for the Samburu and the Turkana
00:33:04.65\00:33:09.45
and they are living in
the desert without water.
00:33:09.48\00:33:12.75
You know, it's amazing to me
00:33:12.79\00:33:14.12
'cause you're just
bringing into reality
00:33:14.16\00:33:15.92
that we're so narrow-minded...
00:33:15.96\00:33:19.43
Yes, we are.
00:33:19.46\00:33:20.80
That we see in our own backyard.
00:33:20.83\00:33:22.23
You're sitting
here just naming tribe
00:33:22.26\00:33:24.97
or culture or whatever,
00:33:25.00\00:33:26.60
just right and left.
00:33:26.63\00:33:28.00
And the reality is, is that
00:33:28.04\00:33:30.34
there are starving
people all over this earth.
00:33:30.37\00:33:33.44
Children. Children.
00:33:33.48\00:33:34.81
That's the
hardest thing to see...
00:33:34.84\00:33:36.18
Amen.
00:33:36.21\00:33:37.55
For no fault of their own. Amen.
00:33:37.58\00:33:39.35
And, boy, it just amazes me,
00:33:39.38\00:33:41.48
20,000 children under REACH
00:33:41.52\00:33:45.19
are being fed,
educated, learning who Jesus is,
00:33:45.22\00:33:50.66
have a roof over
their head and now we,
00:33:50.69\00:33:55.56
I mean 2 million
people I mean 2 million
00:33:55.60\00:33:59.73
blessed babies have now grown
into adulthood that now are,
00:33:59.77\00:34:05.44
it'd be nice if they
knew how to give back
00:34:05.47\00:34:07.64
and that may be part of it.
00:34:07.68\00:34:09.08
There are some
people who are giving back,
00:34:09.11\00:34:11.51
some of our children come
back and be teachers for us.
00:34:11.55\00:34:14.88
Amen. And work in our schools.
00:34:14.92\00:34:17.42
There is a young man
that is going to Andrews,
00:34:17.45\00:34:21.16
his father was one of
our first children in India,
00:34:21.19\00:34:24.39
he came to visit the son.
00:34:24.43\00:34:26.33
He works in
Singapore, someplace.
00:34:26.36\00:34:28.80
And he saw the sign,
REACH sign and he said,
00:34:28.83\00:34:30.87
"Oh, I want to
see these people."
00:34:30.90\00:34:32.80
And we were
working in the garden.
00:34:32.83\00:34:34.17
And the boy
brought him to see us...
00:34:34.20\00:34:36.57
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:34:36.60\00:34:37.94
And four
children from his family
00:34:37.97\00:34:39.67
got an education
because of REACH.
00:34:39.71\00:34:41.98
And I know one of your children
00:34:42.01\00:34:43.35
has grown up and
adopted eight children
00:34:43.38\00:34:45.98
because you say
00:34:46.01\00:34:48.18
you introduced life
to them through the Lord.
00:34:48.22\00:34:52.12
And now they've
adopted children.
00:34:52.15\00:34:53.86
Yeah. That's so amazing.
00:34:53.89\00:34:55.22
I think, was
there ever in 46 years,
00:34:55.26\00:35:00.03
working full time for nothing?
00:35:00.06\00:35:03.10
And I know it was the
passion of your heart,
00:35:03.13\00:35:05.53
but was there ever a time
00:35:05.57\00:35:06.90
that you felt like your
family was needing something
00:35:06.94\00:35:10.61
and you wanted to give up?
00:35:10.64\00:35:12.01
Never. Never, praise God.
00:35:12.04\00:35:13.84
Because we have so much
compared to those children.
00:35:13.88\00:35:16.64
Amen.
00:35:16.68\00:35:18.01
So I could never feel that way.
00:35:18.05\00:35:20.65
I always thank God for
all His blessings to us,
00:35:20.68\00:35:23.85
for giving us the privilege
00:35:23.89\00:35:25.52
of living in
this blessed country.
00:35:25.55\00:35:27.36
Amen.
00:35:27.39\00:35:28.72
And this is the
least I can do to serve Him
00:35:28.76\00:35:31.73
and His poor children.
00:35:31.76\00:35:33.80
So basically for $1 a day,
00:35:33.83\00:35:36.63
they could sponsor someone
to feed them three times a day.
00:35:36.67\00:35:40.44
Yeah.
00:35:40.47\00:35:41.80
I mean, that's just...
00:35:41.84\00:35:43.71
We will sponsor.
00:35:43.74\00:35:45.34
Thank you very much. Yes.
00:35:45.37\00:35:47.14
I mean, how could we
not with what you're doing.
00:35:47.18\00:35:50.21
We'll talk about
how many we'll sponsor.
00:35:50.25\00:35:52.51
So if you are, you know,
00:35:52.55\00:35:57.39
there's so many projects
that we could talk about.
00:35:57.42\00:36:00.66
But the most important thing
that we want to get across,
00:36:00.69\00:36:04.03
is that REACH not
only need sponsors,
00:36:04.06\00:36:07.03
because you,
00:36:07.06\00:36:08.40
it's not just these
30 children in Malawi.
00:36:08.43\00:36:10.90
Oh.
00:36:10.93\00:36:12.27
we have lots in the
files that need sponsors.
00:36:12.30\00:36:15.00
You've got children that,
00:36:15.04\00:36:17.01
so if somebody
doesn't have a sponsor,
00:36:17.04\00:36:19.51
you kick them out?
00:36:19.54\00:36:20.88
No, no, we have to
keep them and feed them
00:36:20.91\00:36:23.35
and pray that we find a sponsor.
00:36:23.38\00:36:25.08
And if somebody
gives us donations,
00:36:25.11\00:36:27.42
all of that money
goes to feed the kids
00:36:27.45\00:36:29.38
who are not sponsored.
00:36:29.42\00:36:30.75
Okay, okay.
00:36:30.79\00:36:32.12
So we sponsor, we bring
them into the school first
00:36:32.15\00:36:35.26
and then we look
for the sponsors.
00:36:35.29\00:36:36.96
Oh, praise the Lord.
00:36:36.99\00:36:38.33
Because you can't leave
a hungry child, and say,
00:36:38.36\00:36:40.46
I'll come back in two
weeks, when I have a sponsor,
00:36:40.50\00:36:42.90
and pick you up,
you can't do that.
00:36:42.93\00:36:45.43
So immediately,
00:36:45.47\00:36:46.80
we take the
children that are in need.
00:36:46.84\00:36:49.00
I think there's about
19 children in Tanzania
00:36:49.04\00:36:51.67
without sponsors,
00:36:51.71\00:36:53.04
I checked with the office today.
00:36:53.07\00:36:55.61
So Tanzania, you
need another 30...
00:36:55.64\00:36:58.31
How many 19 children?
00:36:58.35\00:36:59.68
Nineteen or 20 to,
somewhere between that.
00:36:59.71\00:37:01.05
Nineteen to 20
children that need sponsors.
00:37:01.08\00:37:02.82
So, you know, as you
said, we've got so much.
00:37:02.85\00:37:08.42
A dollar a day, I mean,
00:37:08.46\00:37:10.19
some people spend
more money on that
00:37:10.23\00:37:12.09
just going and
buying a bottle of water
00:37:12.13\00:37:14.86
that their designer
water, or coffee, or tea,
00:37:14.90\00:37:20.10
or whatever it is,
00:37:20.14\00:37:21.77
you could keep a
child off the streets,
00:37:21.80\00:37:25.54
in being fed, being educated,
00:37:25.57\00:37:28.61
you could change child's
life by helping to sponsor,
00:37:28.64\00:37:31.88
but also we want to
make the appeal that
00:37:31.91\00:37:35.98
because the
administration is unpaid,
00:37:36.02\00:37:41.16
they don't take a
penny of the money.
00:37:41.19\00:37:43.83
You're looking for someone
00:37:43.86\00:37:45.36
that perhaps is a retired couple
00:37:45.39\00:37:47.76
that could help your
daughter and son-in-law.
00:37:47.80\00:37:50.07
Yes.
00:37:50.10\00:37:51.43
Because they work full time
and you need somebody for that,
00:37:51.47\00:37:54.54
you're also looking
for maybe a videographer,
00:37:54.57\00:37:57.71
somebody that, an editor come in
00:37:57.74\00:37:59.97
and work with your clips,
00:38:00.01\00:38:01.68
maybe you've got
a writing ability,
00:38:01.71\00:38:04.45
and you're looking for
someone to be the editor
00:38:04.48\00:38:08.25
of your REACH magazine.
00:38:08.28\00:38:09.62
Yeah.
00:38:09.65\00:38:10.99
There's just, are
you looking for people
00:38:11.02\00:38:12.99
to come volunteer
at any of your homes?
00:38:13.02\00:38:14.89
Yes, we need volunteers
in most of our projects,
00:38:14.92\00:38:18.56
but there are little some
difficulties now than before.
00:38:18.59\00:38:22.90
She's a volunteer,
00:38:22.93\00:38:24.27
she pays for her own
visas and everything else.
00:38:24.30\00:38:26.90
It's very expensive,
00:38:26.94\00:38:28.27
visas are
getting very expensive.
00:38:28.30\00:38:30.31
We ran a project in
Honduras, mostly by volunteers.
00:38:30.34\00:38:34.24
But Honduras is getting
to be a little bit dangerous.
00:38:34.28\00:38:38.08
And people are afraid to go
00:38:38.11\00:38:39.81
although we have
had no problems at all.
00:38:39.85\00:38:42.58
We need volunteers there,
00:38:42.62\00:38:43.95
we need people
who can do farming.
00:38:43.99\00:38:46.59
Because we have
land, we need to grow food.
00:38:46.62\00:38:49.39
We need to educate the children
to learn how to do that.
00:38:49.42\00:38:53.09
So needs are great
all over the place.
00:38:53.13\00:38:55.36
Amen.
00:38:55.40\00:38:56.73
Indeed we can use
volunteers in many countries,
00:38:56.77\00:38:59.83
but visas are a problem.
00:38:59.87\00:39:01.54
Now where do you
get your teachers?
00:39:01.57\00:39:03.64
Teachers,
00:39:03.67\00:39:05.01
our schools are
connected to the conference.
00:39:05.04\00:39:07.61
Okay.
00:39:07.64\00:39:08.98
In most of the countries,
00:39:09.01\00:39:10.88
and the conference
provides the teachers.
00:39:10.91\00:39:13.78
Praise God. So you...
00:39:13.82\00:39:15.22
We work,
00:39:15.25\00:39:16.58
because we need
supervision for those schools.
00:39:16.62\00:39:18.29
Yes, amen.
00:39:18.32\00:39:19.65
And we need to
meet the standards
00:39:19.69\00:39:21.02
of those countries.
00:39:21.06\00:39:22.39
And it's much easier for
the conference to do that.
00:39:22.42\00:39:24.46
Amen.
00:39:24.49\00:39:25.83
So they help us,
we work hand in hand.
00:39:25.86\00:39:27.70
Amen.
00:39:27.73\00:39:29.06
So in a typical school
say like in your school, Lois,
00:39:29.10\00:39:32.43
I mean, it's just
grade one through 12,
00:39:32.47\00:39:34.97
or just grade one through
eight or how does this work?
00:39:35.00\00:39:38.64
We have nursery
through standard six
00:39:38.67\00:39:40.71
and we'll add
standard seven in January.
00:39:40.74\00:39:43.38
Then we will have to
provide for 1, 2, 3 and 4
00:39:43.41\00:39:46.78
to comply for secondary
school as required by the law.
00:39:46.82\00:39:50.35
Okay.
00:39:50.39\00:39:51.72
So the Mara Conference
is assigns teachers to us,
00:39:51.75\00:39:57.79
and we pay their
salaries from REACH moneys.
00:39:57.83\00:40:00.73
Yes.
00:40:00.76\00:40:02.10
And the school is
registered to the government
00:40:02.13\00:40:06.97
in Mara Conference's name
00:40:07.00\00:40:08.40
because we don't
have legal standing.
00:40:08.44\00:40:09.97
Amen. Okay.
00:40:10.01\00:40:11.34
And the
orphanage is also licensed
00:40:11.37\00:40:14.68
through Mara
Conference with the government
00:40:14.71\00:40:17.35
because we don't
have legal standing.
00:40:17.38\00:40:19.15
Yes.
00:40:19.18\00:40:20.52
But then, you know,
that gives people, I mean...
00:40:20.55\00:40:24.22
There's nothing wrong with that,
00:40:24.25\00:40:25.59
because, you know,
things are being done properly
00:40:25.62\00:40:29.86
and you have a church
there and it's what language?
00:40:29.89\00:40:35.00
There's a Swahili
church. It's a Swahili church.
00:40:35.03\00:40:38.03
But now you're wanting to build
00:40:38.07\00:40:40.04
or they're asking you
to build an English church
00:40:40.07\00:40:42.97
because you're
teaching English, right?
00:40:43.00\00:40:44.34
And teaching in English.
00:40:44.37\00:40:45.77
Yeah, amen.
00:40:45.81\00:40:47.14
So they could use
some more one day churches.
00:40:47.18\00:40:50.21
You can need.
00:40:50.25\00:40:51.58
There's just a
bucket list, isn't there?
00:40:51.61\00:40:53.65
Yeah, yeah.
00:40:53.68\00:40:55.02
Let me ask you this.
00:40:55.05\00:40:57.12
We kind of skipped the part
00:40:57.15\00:40:59.39
about this
wonderful man in your life
00:40:59.42\00:41:02.42
who you married because to me,
00:41:02.46\00:41:06.33
it's such a precious story.
00:41:06.36\00:41:08.66
Your husband was
reared, you're from Sri Lanka,
00:41:08.70\00:41:13.74
he's from India but he was born.
00:41:13.77\00:41:16.67
And I shouldn't say reared
he was born on the streets,
00:41:16.71\00:41:19.67
lived on the streets.
00:41:19.71\00:41:21.81
How did he meet the Lord?
00:41:21.84\00:41:24.95
When he finished high
school, he saw a tent.
00:41:24.98\00:41:29.62
And he went there.
00:41:29.65\00:41:31.55
And he saw people that he
knew going in nicely dressed.
00:41:31.59\00:41:35.29
But he didn't want to
go because he was in rags.
00:41:35.32\00:41:38.76
He didn't feel he
belonged with that group.
00:41:38.79\00:41:40.96
So he stood out,
hang around outside.
00:41:41.00\00:41:43.26
His teacher went in
and asked him to come.
00:41:43.30\00:41:45.87
And he said, "No, my
clothes are not good.
00:41:45.90\00:41:47.67
I can't come."
00:41:47.70\00:41:49.04
He says, "If you
attend so many meetings,
00:41:49.07\00:41:50.74
you'll get an English Bible."
00:41:50.77\00:41:52.31
He wanted that Bible,
00:41:52.34\00:41:53.88
but he didn't know how
to go in his condition.
00:41:53.91\00:41:57.25
So he says he almost
heard the voice telling him
00:41:57.28\00:42:00.12
when it gets dark you can go in.
00:42:00.15\00:42:03.22
So he waited and
soon it became dark,
00:42:03.25\00:42:05.32
and they turn the lights off
00:42:05.35\00:42:06.99
because they
were showing slides.
00:42:07.02\00:42:09.46
So he went in
and sat at the back.
00:42:09.49\00:42:11.86
And he thought
that Pastor Crews,
00:42:11.89\00:42:14.00
Joe Crews was speaking
directly to him and him only.
00:42:14.03\00:42:18.10
He attended all those meetings.
00:42:18.13\00:42:19.63
And that's how he got baptized.
00:42:19.67\00:42:21.27
And Joe Crews
sent him to college.
00:42:21.30\00:42:23.61
And then Joe Crews sponsored him
00:42:23.64\00:42:25.77
to go to Spicer University.
00:42:25.81\00:42:27.38
Spicer for the first year
00:42:27.41\00:42:29.31
and after that he
sold books, canvas.
00:42:29.34\00:42:31.85
Praise God, and
He studied theology,
00:42:31.88\00:42:34.32
he was a pastor, and you know,
00:42:34.35\00:42:37.09
because, you know,
00:42:37.12\00:42:39.19
it's easy to say
you had two children,
00:42:39.22\00:42:41.46
and you had needs as a family.
00:42:41.49\00:42:44.53
But your husband
totally supported her
00:42:44.56\00:42:48.40
in these 46 years of her working
00:42:48.43\00:42:50.80
as a full time volunteer
for REACH International
00:42:50.83\00:42:53.80
because he knew the difference
00:42:53.84\00:42:56.44
you were making
in children's lives.
00:42:56.47\00:42:58.91
I mean, he lived it.
00:42:58.94\00:43:00.28
He lived it so he
knows how important it is.
00:43:00.31\00:43:03.14
So he's the
brains, I am the brawn.
00:43:03.18\00:43:08.42
I love that.
00:43:08.45\00:43:09.78
He's the brains
and you're the brawn?
00:43:09.82\00:43:11.69
Well, I think it's very
wise, you don't look your age,
00:43:11.72\00:43:15.29
you don't seem to
walk or talk your age.
00:43:15.32\00:43:21.33
But I think it's very wise
00:43:21.36\00:43:22.70
that you were
making these moves now to
00:43:22.73\00:43:25.33
so that if anything does happen,
00:43:25.37\00:43:27.97
you will have an
uninterrupted continuation.
00:43:28.00\00:43:32.27
Because what will you
do with all these kids?
00:43:32.31\00:43:35.31
You can't close the
door and to go home,
00:43:35.34\00:43:37.91
they have no place to go.
00:43:37.95\00:43:39.28
Yeah.
00:43:39.31\00:43:40.65
So we have to think
00:43:40.68\00:43:42.02
of the long term
needs of these kids.
00:43:42.05\00:43:44.55
Absolutely.
00:43:44.59\00:43:45.92
We try to keep two
years operation money saved
00:43:45.95\00:43:50.33
in case something happened.
00:43:50.36\00:43:52.26
At least we have two years too.
00:43:52.29\00:43:54.30
I hope that day never comes.
00:43:54.33\00:43:55.90
Oh, I pray not either.
00:43:55.93\00:43:58.37
Lois, how has it changed you
00:43:58.40\00:44:00.80
in the last
three and a half years,
00:44:00.84\00:44:02.87
being involved in this?
00:44:02.90\00:44:04.54
Oh, wow.
00:44:04.57\00:44:06.27
It's like, I had been
prepared for it all my life,
00:44:06.31\00:44:11.38
but I'm not prepared
for it when it happens.
00:44:11.41\00:44:15.38
And it's been an
education in and of itself,
00:44:15.42\00:44:18.55
and a tremendous experience.
00:44:18.59\00:44:20.16
Absolutely
tremendous experience.
00:44:20.19\00:44:22.76
Have you found that your
faith has been stretched?
00:44:22.79\00:44:26.63
Stretched, and
stretched, and stretched.
00:44:26.66\00:44:31.00
I think it's
wonderful what you're doing.
00:44:31.03\00:44:32.40
Yeah.
00:44:32.43\00:44:33.77
It's definitely
been a challenge.
00:44:33.80\00:44:36.10
Challenges aren't
always what you anticipate,
00:44:36.14\00:44:38.44
but they're what you need.
00:44:38.47\00:44:40.34
Amen. Amen.
00:44:40.38\00:44:41.71
Because I think God uses
the challenges to grow us.
00:44:41.74\00:44:45.18
What would be a typical day?
00:44:45.21\00:44:47.98
Well, a typical day
would be a school day
00:44:48.02\00:44:50.09
since the children go to school.
00:44:50.12\00:44:51.79
They get up in the morning,
they have Uji for breakfast.
00:44:51.82\00:44:55.22
What?
00:44:55.26\00:44:56.59
Uji, It's a porridge
and it's millet porridge.
00:44:56.62\00:44:59.79
Okay.
00:44:59.83\00:45:01.16
And they go to school,
00:45:01.20\00:45:03.53
they have their
worships at school,
00:45:03.57\00:45:05.23
they have their
classes and at noon,
00:45:05.27\00:45:07.44
they're right close,
00:45:07.47\00:45:08.80
so they go back to the orphanage
00:45:08.84\00:45:10.17
for their lunch.
00:45:10.21\00:45:11.54
Okay.
00:45:11.57\00:45:12.91
And they might
have Ugali and beans,
00:45:12.94\00:45:14.28
or rice and beans
or something else.
00:45:14.31\00:45:16.51
But they have their lunch.
00:45:16.54\00:45:19.05
And then after lunch,
00:45:19.08\00:45:20.72
they go back to
school for classes,
00:45:20.75\00:45:22.32
like children do.
00:45:22.35\00:45:24.62
And then there's a time
that they have scheduled for,
00:45:24.65\00:45:27.96
like soccer and fun time
00:45:27.99\00:45:29.49
and swinging
time, and all of that.
00:45:29.52\00:45:31.23
And then there's a
time scheduled for them
00:45:31.26\00:45:32.83
to learn to work in the garden
00:45:32.86\00:45:34.80
and help carry some
of the responsibilities.
00:45:34.83\00:45:37.60
They also help with the laundry.
00:45:37.63\00:45:39.53
And as I
mentioned, with the sewing,
00:45:39.57\00:45:41.54
and with other needs with crops.
00:45:41.57\00:45:43.91
So, they're learning how to work
00:45:43.94\00:45:46.68
at the same time that
they're being educated.
00:45:46.71\00:45:48.64
Yes. Okay.
00:45:48.68\00:45:50.31
And they
certainly appreciate it.
00:45:50.35\00:45:53.08
Well, I think that
the majority of them
00:45:53.11\00:45:55.42
understand well
enough to appreciate it.
00:45:55.45\00:45:58.95
Yes.
00:45:58.99\00:46:00.32
I think that, you
know, children are children,
00:46:00.36\00:46:02.52
and they like to
play all the time.
00:46:02.56\00:46:04.93
But I think...
00:46:04.96\00:46:07.50
You're saying that not
all children appreciate
00:46:07.53\00:46:09.13
learning how to work.
00:46:09.16\00:46:11.93
But I think that they
also have enough understanding
00:46:11.97\00:46:16.10
to know that
what they're learning
00:46:16.14\00:46:18.84
is valuable and fun.
00:46:18.87\00:46:21.81
And I love that part
00:46:21.84\00:46:23.18
that they enjoy
doing, what they're doing.
00:46:23.21\00:46:25.61
Oh, yes.
00:46:25.65\00:46:26.98
And, you know,
00:46:27.02\00:46:28.35
even learning to plant
crops could be exciting
00:46:28.38\00:46:30.32
if you have a
Python visit that day.
00:46:30.35\00:46:34.79
I am not coming to volunteer.
00:46:34.82\00:46:38.26
But that's real
life for that area.
00:46:38.29\00:46:40.10
That's real life for that area.
00:46:40.13\00:46:41.53
Exactly.
00:46:41.56\00:46:42.90
Are there animals and everything
00:46:42.93\00:46:44.93
in that part of the country?
00:46:44.97\00:46:46.77
They're not huge
herds, like in the Serengeti.
00:46:46.80\00:46:50.04
But there are some stray animals
00:46:50.07\00:46:51.71
and there certainly are snakes
00:46:51.74\00:46:54.34
and those kinds of
things, we have had.
00:46:54.38\00:46:56.75
They're leopards,
00:46:56.78\00:46:58.11
but they're smaller
species than in the Serengeti.
00:46:58.15\00:47:00.22
They're small leopards.
00:47:00.25\00:47:01.85
We've killed several
of them on the property.
00:47:01.88\00:47:03.92
They're wild
animals, you don't want them
00:47:03.95\00:47:05.82
around an orphanage
and little children.
00:47:05.85\00:47:08.32
Monkeys, lots of them.
00:47:08.36\00:47:09.82
We have lots
and lots of monkeys,
00:47:09.86\00:47:11.49
they love our mangoes
00:47:11.53\00:47:12.86
and so they want to eat mangoes.
00:47:12.89\00:47:15.46
We are very
close to the Serengeti.
00:47:15.50\00:47:17.83
So people come and work for us.
00:47:17.87\00:47:20.50
And then they
take a couple of days
00:47:20.54\00:47:22.30
where we see the animals.
00:47:22.34\00:47:24.01
So you've got 21 countries,
00:47:24.04\00:47:27.51
over 20,000 children
00:47:27.54\00:47:29.44
and close to 2 million
00:47:29.48\00:47:31.71
have already been through this.
00:47:31.75\00:47:35.48
What would happen
to these children,
00:47:35.52\00:47:38.05
if something happened to REACH
that you couldn't continue?
00:47:38.09\00:47:42.09
They will have to go back
00:47:42.12\00:47:43.69
to where they came
from which is the streets.
00:47:43.73\00:47:47.66
And I hope that
never happens. Yeah.
00:47:47.70\00:47:49.96
I'm sure God will
take care of them.
00:47:50.00\00:47:52.27
Amen. Amen, because...
00:47:52.30\00:47:53.84
And take care of REACH
00:47:53.87\00:47:55.20
so that we can
take care of them.
00:47:55.24\00:47:56.57
Amen.
00:47:56.60\00:47:57.94
I don't expect that, 46
years He's been faithful.
00:47:57.97\00:48:01.44
Amen.
00:48:01.48\00:48:03.24
So, I don't
expect that to happen.
00:48:03.28\00:48:05.35
But you have these children
00:48:05.38\00:48:07.85
possibly without REACH
would have no life whatsoever.
00:48:07.88\00:48:12.65
It would be one of begging
or stealing or sex trafficking.
00:48:12.69\00:48:15.59
Any of the kids saved,
00:48:15.62\00:48:16.96
not for REACH, where would I be?
00:48:16.99\00:48:19.59
Yeah.
00:48:19.63\00:48:20.96
Many of the ones who
have finished graduated,
00:48:21.00\00:48:23.60
we are trying to get
one of our young people
00:48:23.63\00:48:25.43
to come and help her.
00:48:25.47\00:48:27.87
Yes.
00:48:27.90\00:48:29.24
And we are trying to train him
00:48:29.27\00:48:31.21
so that he can do
some of the traveling
00:48:31.24\00:48:33.78
because Cheryl
doesn't have the time
00:48:33.81\00:48:36.38
to go visit the projects.
00:48:36.41\00:48:37.75
But he grew up with us
00:48:37.78\00:48:39.11
from the time he
was six years old,
00:48:39.15\00:48:40.88
his father was
beheaded in the village,
00:48:40.92\00:48:43.62
mother had two kids,
00:48:43.65\00:48:45.05
left the old one with
us took the young one,
00:48:45.09\00:48:47.59
and went to her family.
00:48:47.62\00:48:49.09
And this is the boy
that grew up with us
00:48:49.12\00:48:50.93
and who's the
running one of our schools.
00:48:50.96\00:48:53.80
Praise God.
00:48:53.83\00:48:55.16
And we feel that we
need to educate him more
00:48:55.20\00:48:58.33
about all of REACH
not just REACH India,
00:48:58.37\00:49:01.64
so that he can
help us with the work.
00:49:01.67\00:49:04.37
You know, it's really
rare that you find a ministry
00:49:04.41\00:49:07.48
where the administration
is not paid at all.
00:49:07.51\00:49:10.21
And we just want
to encourage you,
00:49:10.25\00:49:12.85
I just truly
believe that as the Lord
00:49:12.88\00:49:15.78
is moving on our hearts
00:49:15.82\00:49:17.15
to realize for dollar a
day you can support child
00:49:17.19\00:49:20.66
to give them food,
housing and education,
00:49:20.69\00:49:24.69
not just for a book learning,
00:49:24.73\00:49:29.30
but the book, a
Christian education as well.
00:49:29.33\00:49:33.97
And they're learning skills
00:49:34.00\00:49:35.87
that they can have
a marketable skills,
00:49:35.90\00:49:38.57
it will put it that way.
00:49:38.61\00:49:40.38
And they're also looking
for if you are a well digger,
00:49:40.41\00:49:44.98
maybe you could help bore a well
00:49:45.01\00:49:46.75
there in Tanzania or...
00:49:46.78\00:49:50.05
I think you also would like
to set up an irrigation system.
00:49:50.09\00:49:52.95
Oh, we need a
decent irrigation system.
00:49:52.99\00:49:55.29
This is just a
temporary to just get us by
00:49:55.32\00:50:00.73
until we can do
something proper.
00:50:00.76\00:50:02.96
And I know that we serve the God
00:50:03.00\00:50:06.47
and I know that
He hears our prayers,
00:50:06.50\00:50:10.24
or, you know, and I know that
00:50:10.27\00:50:11.94
He intercedes in our behalf.
00:50:11.97\00:50:13.94
And we can use the
volunteer with the farm
00:50:13.98\00:50:16.18
to help you with that.
00:50:16.21\00:50:17.55
Yes, of course.
00:50:17.58\00:50:18.91
Get volunteers
with a farm or somebody
00:50:18.95\00:50:20.28
if you are perhaps a writer,
00:50:20.32\00:50:22.42
you could volunteer some hours
00:50:22.45\00:50:24.19
each week or
month to help with that
00:50:24.22\00:50:27.46
or an editor, videographer,
they need a lot of things.
00:50:27.49\00:50:32.26
So we want to tell you
00:50:32.29\00:50:33.80
because I know,
00:50:33.83\00:50:35.30
just like our
sure heart is touched
00:50:35.33\00:50:37.43
by this precious ministry.
00:50:37.47\00:50:39.33
It's a 501C3
nonprofit organization
00:50:39.37\00:50:43.14
that's been
running for 46 years,
00:50:43.17\00:50:45.71
and now in 21 countries now.
00:50:45.74\00:50:48.61
If the Holy Spirit is
impressing upon your heart
00:50:48.64\00:50:51.98
to volunteer or
to sponsor a child,
00:50:52.01\00:50:56.28
here's how you can
get in touch with them.
00:50:56.32\00:50:58.39
If you feel impressed
00:51:02.26\00:51:03.59
to support a
child or the volunteers
00:51:03.63\00:51:05.46
of Rendering Effective
Aid for Children or REACH,
00:51:05.49\00:51:08.96
you can do so by contacting them
