Angela Malik, the Director of the Kondwa Day Center, has a dream of providing primary school education to all the graduates of the preschool.
Kachele is the name of a fig tree in one of the Zambian languages, and like the large leaves of the fig tree, she hopes this school will provide shade and comfort to its students.

Organizations Sponsored:
The Kondwa Day Center
With more than 90 children ages 3-9, the Kondwa Day Center is a busy happy preschool!
The Day Center provides basic education, two meals per day, and adult supervision to children and vulnerable children living in one of the most impoverished areas of Lusaka, Zambia.
The children are divided into four classrooms based on age and education level: the Baby Class, the Nursery Class, the Middle Class, and the Pre-K Class.
The Temwani Children's Foundation supports the Kondwa Day Center by sending gifts to each child as part of the Holiday Angel Project, sending volunteers to provide training and labor as part of the Zambia Volunteer Trip, and sending blankets, supplies, and donations throughout the year.

Assisi School for children with disabilities
This school provides care to 25 children with disabilities ranging from mental retardation to deafness.
The children receive loving care from Sister Helen and the assistants, yet they are in need of many educational and behavioral tools because of their unique challenges.
The Temwani Children's Foundation is just beginning to work with Assisi in 2008 and was able to include them in the 2007 Holiday Angel Gift Project.

Situated on the outskirts of Lusaka, Chishawasha is home to more than 40 orphans and is run by the by the Zambian Children's Fund. With a brand new school and accommodations, the children live in group quarters and are cared for until they are able to take care of themselves as adults.
The Temwani Children's Foundation has provided gifts to the children as part of the Holiday Angel Project in 2006.
