For any of you old timers who might know some of my older boys who have come and gone, here is a little up date on a few of them. 
Carlito is now married and his wife had a baby just in the last few days.  His wife Anna just had their first a little girl the we don't know her name yet.  I don't know exactly what happened but she did have a difficult delivery I think it was a C section  they don't give out details here.  Carlito works at a radiator company but wants to get a teaching certificate and be a teacher.  He plans on leaving his present job and going to school.  The owner of the company is a Zimbabwean many of the Mozambicans are being laid off and the Zimbos coming in since many of the companies that  are here were originally in Zimbabwe.  With the crash of Zimbabwe the main base is now here in Mozambique and bringing in all there workers that were in their Zim based companies.

Fernando as well is married and his wife Anna is not too far off from her second baby.  The first is a little girl Fieza is 3 years old.  Fernando works at a company called Tendas d Mozambique.  He still does batiks and tie die stuff on the side and has done curtains and the like for us.  His company is doing different awnings for us as well.

Fernando's brother Daniel,Mawane, Vertish, which ever name you may know him by works as a guard in a company that provides guards to different companies.

Guida their sister and her husband, Paulo are still here in Beira.  Paulo works with us from time to time.  He unfortunately lost one finger in a saw.  He was working during lunch so since most people were not around we don't know exactly what happened.   but he does seem to be healing well.

Lino who has been having his mostly downs is now on a Discipleship Training Course with Ywam it a city up north.  It is 6 months of intensive teaching and working.  We really hope this works out for him, he was really at the bottom of the barrel, no he was living under the barrel.  He even came a match strike close (literally) from being lynched.  the petrol had been poured on him after he was beaten senseless.  some one just stepped up and said 'no don't burn him'  Burning thieves alive is becoming common now.  we are hoping that was a turning point for him.

Manuel who most of you know as 'mosquito' is married and has his first child Victor.  His wife Fatima is from across the river from Beira.  He was working with Food for the Hungry up north doing local medicine and sanitation courses.  His contract was for only 6 months and he is waiting to see what he is going to do now.  In the mean time he is working with us.

Innocence is in Zimbabwe last I heard doing a course there.  He was working with Sena Sugar up north he has a wife and child but I have not met them as of yet.

Jeff or Armandinho is working selling things like clothes or jewelry or what ever sells, he still lives not too far from here with his mom.

That is just a quick update on the old boys, now men, that I see on a more regular basis
