Greetings everyone!
As promised here a few days ago, https://friendsofpakati.com/2025/02/12/coming-soon-a-friend-of-pakati-speaks/ here is the latest from our regular donor, Sharlom Chaitika.
We spoke for over an hour just recently, and covered a lot of ground as we caught up with each others adventures – mine in Zimbabwe for Friends of Pakati, Sharlom’s in Eswatini as a volunteer for Challenge Ministries. We also talked about our current plans – mine to raise funds for power & wifi at Pakati, hers to start a new project in Zimbabwe – this will be part of a series of podcasts/vlogs we are planning to record soon.
Sharlom is a Specialist Biomedical Scientist at the Princess Royal Hospital in Telford. Here is the outline of her story….
“Hi Chris, I hope you are doing well today. I will be sending some pictures shortly,I thought it’d be nice to include some pictures of my recent trip to Eswatini with the students that I worked with as well as a few individual ones of my self….. I will also attach an article that I did for the Institute of Biomedical Sciences to give context to my work in Eswatini.”
Below is the article she mentioned that she had published:
Clearly the time spent in Bulembu has left an impression on her, & she has enjoyed working with the students….
….so much so that she sent me the following:
“Hey Chris, I just checked and the photos I sent earlier cover most of my journey. I also wanted to share some pictures from our 10k run at Alton Towers with my work colleagues last November. We did it to raise funds for Challenge Ministries Eswatini.”
With her new project currently being set up, Friends of Pakati will be following her progress, and she will feature in future posts, including the aforementioned podcasts/vlogs.
Many thanks to Sharlom for her continued support & great encouragement to help keep Friends of Pakati going!
