I would like to set up a joint venture emergency housing for contractors who have lost their homes due to this economy. I believe that if we joined together and developed a work pool and a job source pool that collective powers will prevail through this building crisis. I am looking to provide emergency housing for up to 75 people. I need approximately 1.5 mill to payoff existing debt of 1.3 mill and use the remainder for a years housing and feeding for the needy. The property is a 5 acre parcel so it would be used to grow food for the residents and everyone would work. The idea is a temporary commune until they get other permanent employment and shelter. Please post this where you see fit.

(BANA means "child" in Sesotho)
My wife and two sons saw a staggering need in Africa back in 2003 and began putting together a humanitarian project among AIDS orphans and abandoned children in Lesotho, Africa. We put together an infa-structure with national personnel whom we had work with for many years before and began feeding orphans in the surrounding area where our national director lives. We started with 35 and soon found that the "True Orphans" had many more needs than food. We slowly expanded into a more caring effort by giving them clothes, warm blankets, shoes, school uniforms and lots of TLC. The months quickly turned into years and we are now caring for 2000 orphans and abandoned children in some 20 villages just north of the capital city of Maseru. We have a community-based volunteer system set up in a non-profit organization and are making a HUGE impact on some 50,000 people. Those people range from children to their relatives, their close friends and neighbors and many village Chieftains, !
parliament officials and policemen. The 50,000 people are members of the villages who support our project with labor and organization.
We have our own farm projects for growing vegetables and legumes, animals that provide meat for the children, educational projects that range from AIDS awareness, gardening, animal husbandry, farming and others. Each month the numbers grow and we have to turn away many poor and needy children. My heart cannot stand to just say "no". I am deeply moved by the needs around me and desperately need help with finances, equipment, building programs and workers. I have many people who are willing to help us if only we have the finances. Some of these are teachers, carpenters, building contractors, and medical personnel. I give $400 every month of my own income and have since the beginning of our existence in Lesotho. There are a few other people who do the same and we are putting around $1500 USD every month toward the entire project. There are many extra-curricular items that we have to supply from time to time, like roof repair, seeds for planting, extra shoes, extra blankets!
, electricity where available and many others things. Every month we seem to have enough for the monthly budget, but the needs are so horrendous that we cannot sleep at night thinking of all that needs to be done.
The AIDS concentration published is not altogether correct. I would estimate it to be at least 50% or higher. The nation of Lesotho could easily be wiped out and taken from the map unless we find more people of passion to help in this most worthy endeavor.
I have been given a vision by my god and Creator. I want to purchase a large flat-topped plateau that has around 6,000 acres of virgin farm land on top that is controlled by some 20 Chieftains surrounding it. I would like to develop a large farm research project for growing food year round to supply the whole nation. I would like to develop a large Alternative Medicine project and have personnel who ready to help us when possible. I would like to provide deep water wells or higher technology for supplying safe pure water to those villages surrounding the mountain. I also plan to build the only High School in Lesotho that has the up-to-date subjects so desperately needed by the nation. This project involves lots of equipment, engineers, teachers, doctors, etc., etc.
Some years ago a world renown personality pushed me to developing a proposal of $47.8 million to do this whole project, which (I believe with all my heart) would go far in saving the whole nation and the every growing 180,000 orphans.
Our project has been very successful so far because of the grass roots approach with dedicated, hard working honest and godly people we have in leadership there in the country. We simply need the great financial package to be able to make a difference and fulfill the vision give me.
The Visionary Caleb in the Old Testament said to God, "Give me this mountain", and was able to realize fully the extent of God giving him the mountain. I have done the same thing. I have asked God for that mountain and fully expect to see my vision before I die.
I am soon to turn 70 years of age and am planning to sell my home (even though the markets seem impossible) and along with my wife and 3 sons move to Lesotho to live among a people that are dear to our hearts to develop this huge project.
Please publish this request for funding and equipment on fourwinds10.com so that others may read of what we are doing there.
Thank you for all your hard work and pain by keeping the website up and giving us hope that we can make a great difference in the world around us. God Bless you.
