CWB Volunteer Receives Community Service Award From Alma Mater

On April 13th, Ruth Hickox-Litchfield received the Columbia College Alumni Association Community Service Award for her involvement with Communities Without Borders. As a member of Pilgrim Church in Lexington, Ruth has participated in the CWB summer trips to Zambia for the past five years. After her first trip, she realized that the most profound impact she could have was letting children, from the most dire circumstances, know that they have not been forgotten. A longtime knitter, Ruth decided to organize fellow knitters to help her knit dolls to bring to orphanages in Zambia.

CWB Zambia: A New Milestone

Communities Without Borders (CWB) has registered a new non-governmental organization in Zambia itself in order to solidify a continuous on-the-ground presence in Zambia year round. With this action we expect to be better able to manage operations in Zambia leading to more effectiveness and better accountability and cost savings. We will also enjoy the benefit of the creative thinking from experienced and respected Zambians on our Zambian board of directors.

Miriam's Story

“I would like to give my sincere thanks and appreciation to Communities Without Borders (CWB) for supporting me. Without this help I would have stopped School a long time ago as my mother would not have been able to afford to send me and my sisters and brother to School. During the Grade 7 examination I had the highest marks (802) at our School and the School gave me a prize for doing so well. My hopes are to become a Lawyer when I finish School so that I can help administer justice in our country.” Miriam Moonga, from Garden Compound
