New Day is Official!!

Today we had our official New Day Orphanage Opening Ceremony! 150 people attended, including 7 headmen, 2 senior headmen, the Mapanza Councilman, and Chief Mapanza's representative, the General Secretary. It was a great ceremony and I think the people really enjoyed it!

We feel like everyone who has prayed for New Day, donated to New Day, and come to volunteer at New Day was with us today at the opening ceremony! Thank you all! :)
