We went to the village today what an amazing experience. We drove into the lane to see all the kids all lined up and waiting for us to arrive. The older boys were dragging out 110 lbs of fertilizer we had purchased for the women and the bins were all set up to give to the women and children.
The kids stood there and sang songs to us about Jesus and they had the most beautiful pitch and it was so heartening to hear. I started to cry and I am sure there are ugly pics of me floating around - but it really didn't matter. We have had some pretty bad rain storms so the village was really wet. We had a very hard rain come through and we all gathered in the resource center waiting out the rain. Listening to the tin roof as the rain hit was magical sounding.
The village doesn't have electricity - so we waited it out in a dark room with 70-100 people crammed in there. When the rain let up, we all assembled back outside and began the process of distributing the widow's fertilizer, t'cheinge's and shirt and taking photos with their family.
More later......
