There are 58 kids here at Children of Zion (COZV). They range in age from 5 months to 18 years – 26 are teenagers! Each one of the kids has a story of abandonment, heartache, and pain. There are several hundred orphans running around Katima Mulilo, but the kids that have been placed here at COZV have been identified as high risk orphans. Illness, abuse, neglect, or the inabilities of a living family member to care for the child are some of the high risk categories.

Tina,
The picture makes me feel as though the kids are reaching out to our hearts! When I read the end of Jeremiah 31:12, I saw a parallel to 'Children of Zion Village', and how the servants minister to bring healing, so that: "they shall not sorrow any more at all." Thanks for bringing to us an awareness of this ministry - so we can be 'fellow laborers' through prayer, and in other ways that God may lead. (1 Cor. 3:9)
Blessings and love,
Betty
