Who are we and what are we doing?

We are a team of 12 people of various ages and experience levels who have come together to walk alongside these caregivers; seeking to encourage them and help lift off the burden they experience. We will walk alongside them in rural Zambia, visiting homes where they ensure the children have access to basic health care, food and education; helping with chores, visiting with women and children along with way, assessing childrens’ health and safety (and then bringing up concerns to the hands at work team to ensure those dire concerns are met). We will help in the preparation of their daily meal, and play with the children while they are there. 

In order to do this, we need to raise up funds to pay for our airflights, meals and basic lodging while there, and transportation. This is where you come in. Would you be willing to partner with us by bidding on the services and or items, listed in the next blog, which interest you, or else by giving a tax deductible donation to Hands at Work using our team number (STM-14-067), which ensures the funds get directed to our team?

If so, then as of Friday March 21 you can start e-mailing us at zambia122014@gmail.com with the item you are bidding on and the amount.  Bidding will remain open until April 17th at which point the highest bidder will be contacted and arrangements can be made.
