Miriam and I have both always had a dream to go to Africa...
We wanted to share with you more about what has drawn us to The Mully Children's Family (MCF). MCF was founded by Dr. Ev. Charles and Ester Mulli. This was a wealthy family who were touched by the plight of children in difficult circumstances and gave up all they owned to care for destitute children. The organization was founded in 1989 and today MCF is one of the largest rehabilitation organizations for children in Africa. At the moment the homes care for more than 2000 children between the ages of 1 week to 24 years, both boys and girls.
Their target group is street children, orphaned children, children from juvenile remand homes and government rehabilitation centres, child labourers, children with disabilities, destitute mothers, child mothers, HIV/AIDS infected and affected children, and upgrading living conditions of widows living in rural Africa.
They have an amazing list of achievements and success stories...
* Over 7000 former street children, drug addicts, and the abandoned have graduated from MCF with high quality skills and education and are well integrated into society
* Charles and Esther Mulli were awarded the "Angel of Hope" award for their humanitarian work among the needy children of the world by World Vision International Canada in 2002
* On July 15, 2007, Mrs Esther Mulli was awarded the Heart of Africa award and named Woman of the Year!
We want to thank you for your prayers and support as we do our part to help the Mully Children's Family through this mission trip. http://www.mullychildrensfamily.org/
