Dear Friends
As we begin our journey through Advent, our hearts are lifted by the thought of Christ’s coming into the world. This season invites us to remember that hope still enters the world, often quietly, through compassion, care and community.
One of the many blessings of Tariro is that hope is never far away. Whenever I think of the young people and the futures they are building, I’m reminded that nurturing their growth is one of the most life-giving things we can do.
Finances
I don’t often write about finance, as I know how generously you already support us. I never want to place pressure on anyone. But this time of year is when many churches and friends feel moved to give to causes close to their hearts, and we are always deeply grateful for those gifts.
January marks the start of the school year in Zimbabwe, and it is one of Tariro’s busiest and most expensive months. We must pay a full term’s school fees for each child and ensure they have uniforms, stationery, transport, and food. To prepare, we need to strengthen our bank balance over December. As part of careful budgeting, we’ll keep our usual Christmas celebrations and gifts low key this year so that we can direct as much as possible toward school fees and essential supplies for January.
