There is no limitation for those who believe!

Tuesday 3^rd July

Man determination to be at club!

Later in the afternoon I went to Tidzlerana Club a program that is set up for all those who are both young and old, who are living with a disability.

Tidzlerana means 'we care for each other' and how true these words became to me as I stepped into the building.

The group of children and adults

As I walked down to the hall they meet I was greeted by children who have multiple disabilities, their faces light up as they see you are there to see them. One man who was eager to be there was dragging himself on all fours, he had gloves on his hands to protect him from the gravel yet the smile on his face warmed my heart. He was so determined to get to the program, nothing was going to stop him.

As I walked in the door along the wall were people young and old who were waiting for the session to start, some carers of those who were disabled others disabled themselves in some way.

They start by a time of praise and worship thanking God for the new day, then sing songs to encourage one another.

For those in Malawi with disabilities, some believe its a curse on them, however this program is set up as a support network, each will support one another, children assisting other children, parents and carers are able to come into a safe environment where love is extended and support is available.

A disabilities is only a disability if you allow it to be!

Matthew 19v26- “with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible'

Craft time

I meet some of the most amazingly strong people, who in despite of difficult circumstances have hope for a bright future, who have such joy in their hearts and such love and compassion for those around them.

I was taken back by the ages of some of the children I meet, some so disabled that they have been stunted in their growth, one boy I meet who I would say was 7 was actually 12 years old there were many more in similar circumstances.

It was a delight to see the smiles on peoples faces as they spent time in each others company, doing craft activity making paper plate fish, then ladies doing sewing and beading as the men talked or enjoyed the atmosphere!

Would go back in a intent given the opportunity, it was humbling to be apart of program and see how in the mist of challenging circumstances people are united in love for one another.
