Local performers
To support the children of Zimbabwe
The Mission Zimbabwe Project is holding its annual “Valentine” concert on Saturday, February 10th at Victoria Jubilee Hall in Walkerton. This year, local entertainers have donated their talents to provide an evening of entertaining and inspiring music. The concert will feature the return of popular pianist/singer, Sebastian Ellis from Markdale who was a big hit at the 2017 show. Mildmay native, Mike Derek will provide a medley of old time songs and Meaford native, Cam Fletcher will provide his unique style of country songs. Also featured are the ever popular Hanover based group, The Usual Suspects with their unique jazzy sound. Whether you enjoy country, gospel, contemporary, blues or toe tapping tunes, there is something for every taste at this variety show. Come out and support these mostly young local entertainers as they support the children at the Village of Hope and Vimbainesu Children’s Home. All proceeds will go to provide financial support for Vimbainesu Children’s Home and the Village of Hope in Zimbabwe.
Tickets for the event are only $15.00 and can be purchased by contacting Barry Mutrie at 519-363-3526 or in Walkerton at Brown’s Pharmacy and the box office at Victoria Jubilee Hall. In Hanover tickets will be available at Ashanti Coffee, Emke-Schaab Climate Care and Hope Community Church.
The Mission Zimbabwe Project is committed to continuing to financially support the Village of Hope and Vimbainesu Children’s Home. I can assure you that through the support provided by the caring people here in the Grey-Bruce area, HOPE FOR THE FUTURE will be given to many children like Dee featured below.
It must be emphasized that all funds raised by this concert will go directly to benefit the children. To find out more about the Mission Zimbabwe Project go to www.missionzimbabwe.org or connect on Facebook at Mission Zimbabwe.
Village of Hope, Zimbabwe: Dee’s Transformation
Meet Dee, one of the youngest girls at VOH Zimbabwe. Dee is 4 years old and she moved into one of the children’s homes at the Village last year. She is a real bubble of joy, always smiling and greeting everyone she meets. This picture was taken as she walked to her preschool class at the Village.
Since coming to Village of Hope from a very rough background, Dee has transformed into a joyful child with hopes for a bright future! Dee’s favourite pastime is playing with dolls with her friends.

News Flash!
The Container that was shipped from Bethel Pentecostal Assembly in Goderich is now in Harare and Pastor Zowa informed me that it will be delivered to Village of Hope on Monday. It is stuffed full with needed Education items so Monday should be an exciting day at the VOH.
