The roof on the Administrative wing of the HIV/AIDS Centre was laid in mid-October. This wing (of a "U" shaped building) will house the clinic, lab, counseling center, pharmacy, kitchen and storage.
Completion of the Centre depends on the funding for two more cottages ($8,500 each). These cottages will house 2-4 people with a shared bath. Preference is given to housing infected families in one unit. Global NIM has had several parties donate funds in memory of a loved one. There is also a need for patient "sponsorships," to assist with monthly living and medical expenses ($30 to $40/month). We welcome your inquiry; please contact us via http://www.globalnim.org/.
We are sending the picture of phase 2 & 3 of AIDS clinic. We lay the roof soon. Please pray for it.
