Pilgrim has many Aid & Relief Program events to report. William Omara, the Director of Aid & Relief has been arranging the distribution of emergency food relief in several districts in NE Teso, verifying situations where food is needed and distributing emergency food supplies. The food distributed is from the container of emergency food packets from Feed My Starving Children that was donated to Pilgrim. Another container of that same kind of food, enough to provide 270,864 meals, has arrived in Zimbabwe for distribution by Paula Leen's ministry in Murwira. Her feeding program covers four local schools where 1200 students get one healthy meal per day. She also cares for 36 orphans at her own orphanage and provides emergency food and medical transportation as well as a myriad of other social services to her surrounding community.

Pilgrim has another container is on the way, also donated by Feed my Starving Children, to Zimbabwe. Thanks to all who donated towards the transportation costs for these two containers of food.

Another area of Aid & Relief for which William Omara is responsible is the distribution of a containerof medical equipment and supplies. This container was donated in late 2009 to Pilgrim by Charity Services International / World Children's Fund, and is enough to supply many clinics. William is travelling through the Teso region visiting the clinics, assessing how the donated materials can help each individual clinic, and supplying what he can.
