Malawi is known as the “heart of Africa” because of its warm, friendly people, but sadly, the country has been greatly affected by AIDS. It is estimated that there are more than a million orphaned children in Malawi, most of whom become orphans because
their parents die of AIDS.
Whittier Area Community Church has
such a passion and love for this country, and a desire to help their people that over the past year and a half, hundreds of thousands of dollars have been raised to build a Pediatric Clinic in Lilongwe, the capital of Malawi. Two teams from WACC have already gone to witness the progress of the clinic, and hundreds have worked state-side to help see this miracle continue. On July 30, 2008 another team is going to Malawi to put the finishing touches on the clinic. We will be painting, decorating and turning a plain brick building into a beautiful, welcoming haven for children and mothers to come and receive medical help.
-Love, Team Malawi (Verna, Char, Felicia, Lindsay, Lamar, Jan, Shelley, Marie, Sherry, Joe B, Dee, Joe C, Janie, Linda, & Kari) See more pictures from our trip to Malawi HERE

What a wonderful experience! Words cannot express the feelings that I have for everything - working with the people of Malawi, ministering to the children, working on the clinic, meeting Adidia, and working with the TEAM! What a life changing experience. To Lindsay, you did such a fabulous job of expressing to our family and friends what we were doing! To the rest of the team - thanks to you all for letting me be a part of the team and having these wonderful experiences and becoming "part of the WACC family"! To my friends and family - thanks for all your prayers and support! Am looking forward to the next trip!
