Zimbabwe Trip Scheduled for September 2022!
All we can say is "Wow"! We have changed this date so many times due to COVID. After many discussions with our project managers in Zimbabwe, we all feel that September is going to be a GO. GO, GO!

So, please let us know if you are interested in joining our team. We have four people signed up and we would love another two team members to make it a well-rounded group. This is going to be such a wonderful trip and a joyous homecoming after not being in the country since September of 2019. We can't express how excited we are already.

We will begin our planning very soon. Give Cindy a call soon so she can answer all your questions regarding budget, safety, lodging, food, and more! Cindy has been to Zimbabwe at least 25 times so she is a well-seasoned traveler.

To Love a Child - Tales from the Wilderness

4/27/2021

0 Comments

 
We are anticipating an exciting return to our journeys to Zimbabwe beginning in 2022.  Our target is March or April and we want YOU to come along for the ride!  We will continue to post updates on our projects, however, we will also post a few tales from the safaris we always end our trips with.  These safaris are a wonderful experience, educational and a photographer's dream come true.  In the words of Wilderness Safari's, the safari company we always use for our adventures, "Simply put, we are dedicated to conserving and restoring Africa’s wilderness and wildlife, and we use high-end ecotourism to do this. Our model is responsible and sustainable, changes people’s perspectives on the planet, and inspires those exposed to it to effect positive change in their own lives and own spheres of influence."   Enjoy just a few photos from our 2018 safari experience and if you are interested in our 2022 trip to Zimbabwe please contact us.  directoratTLC@aol.com

Happy Earth Day from To Love a Child!

4/22/2021

0 Comments

 
We are thankful this Earth Day for the surprise gift of 10  hectares of land in Mberengwa, Zimbabwe from the village heads for our school project. Although Tropical Cyclone Eloise paused our building projects temporarily in March it also produced much needed rains for crops.

The land gifted to us had been fallow for over 20 years.  Needless to say, Project Manager Muno had many helpful hands from the village to clear the land of trees and shrubs in order to make the land conducive for planting crops.  8 hectares were  cleared and 2 hectares were left for livestock grazing and breeding.

The photos above show the maize and sugar beans that were planted on 3 1/2 hectares.   Although our crop may be small this year we look forward to the next planting season so that the entire plot of land can be planted and harvested.
