How and What To Give

I have come with a few, a very few goodies in my bag for the kids, but they remain in my bag. How can you give to one and not the others? And they have no place to put anything. They have no furniture to keep junk. Their possessions are carefully used, not stored away.

Anyway…. I found a place where I know whatever I have to give will be put to great use. There’s an NGO here setting up ovens for baking bread. The idea is for a group of women to form a little bakery and sell their buns at the market and in the village (which could be hard since no one has a job – they usually just take care of the maize – so there’s hardly any cash around at all. God, it’s really awful, yet they have such dignity)….so the idea is that these incredibly hard working women will start a business. I am so excited by this project and will buy them enough flour to get going - enough to fill the outdoor bakery shelves. I arrived at the same time as the bakery. A gorgeous wood burning stove had just been put in the middle of the village and baking classes are being given. The women here give me much hope and gladness. I’ll tell you more about these amazing ladies later…..
I hope you’re all well and happy and learning……I am!
