Lauren and I made a pretty solid donation to the school last week
in order to provide water and food to the students. Joseph went to the market for supplies, made
arrangements for water, and stopped by the market last night for vegetables. We were able to get everything that we wanted
to set them up (hopefully) for the next month!
The water truck came this morning to fill up the tank & all the
students came out from class with containers to be filled to watch them work. It was so great to see how excited they
were about it. Around 11:00am, a few of
the older girls started cooking lunch.
It was quite the process! I have
to be honest, watching the dozen of them in wavy skirts with knives and open
fire in this tiny little room was a little unnerving…..but we’ll work on safety
another day I guess. We’ll just get them
fed for now. They made a delicious meal
of potatoes, cabbage, tomatoes, & onions with rice. It was enough to feed the whole school &
it was wonderful to see them all walk away with full bellies.
I know I’ve sent the link out to many of you, but Lauren & I
have created a GoFundMe account and will be working to continue to keep the
kids hydrated & full of healthy food.
If you are interested in supporting us as we work toward our goal,
please go to http://www.gofundme.com/327yqc. Any donation would be
deeply appreciated.
Water Man!!
After the tank was full, they used every drop left in the hose to make sure nothing was wasted.
It's a little tight in the cooking area. Here the girls are peeling potatoes on one side and cutting veggies while the fire warms up on the other.
