Old Mutare Mission Centre, Old Mutare, Zimbabwe:
As members of Oak Ridge United Methodist Church, Oak Ridge, NC, we accompanied a VIM team to this mission with members of the South Carolina United Methodist Annual Conference (SC UMAC) in June, 2005, 2006 & 2007. Ed Wentz served and continue to serve, as required, as technical advisor to SC UMAC to rehabilitate the drinking water system at the mission which has been in a bad state of disrepair for years. Bev worked with Dr. Wally Fridy at the mission outpatient clinic. Under the local direction of geologist George Mutasa, to date, two new 250 cubic meter reservoirs have been built, new borehole (well) pump(s) installed and new piping system installed between the reservoirs and hospital. This is an on-going project that hopefully will involve installation of water delivery piping to Mandisodza Village located on the mission property, funds permitting. Mission population is 3,000 to 4,000 people.
