5K, where are your donations going?

My parents and inlaws have now been in town for 2 weeks! We have been very buys with different projects in the villages. I have been so lucky to have their help and support. My parents brought over all the donations collected at the 5K as well as the money collected. Last week we bought and delivered food to two very needy families in Ndombo. We also brought cookies for all the kids in the village! We spend the entire day with a family of 8! Both parents and 6 children all under the age of 10. We built them a very large chicken coup, large enough for 20 chickens! We then bought them 5 chickens but we hope they can fill the coup very soon! Once the chickens start laying the Baba can sell the eggs for twice as much as regular eggs because we bought him the highest quality chicken in the area! We will continue delivering food to the family for the next 2 months and then after that the family should be able to support themselves. We are also looking for sponsorship for two of the boys, Baraka and Praygod. It only cost $75 per year but the family has so far been unable to come up with the money.

Next on the agenda was buying Naomi a sewing machine. At the 5K Rachelle and her parents sold enough flowers to buy a brand new sewing machine. Thank you Rachelle, her parents and everyone who bought a flower! We will be delivering the sewing machine and meeting up with Naomi later today.

Chicken coups have been a something my father, father in law and husband have been constantly working on and thanking about! They drew up some blue prints and bought all the supplies. They did the main assembly of the coups in our back yard but later today we will be fully assembling them at Mama Mary's and Esta's homes.

Tomorrow we will be buying 42 chickens and delivering them to their new homes!!

Thank you to everyone who came to the 5K and those who were unable to come. We are changing these families lives and we could not do it without support from you!

Thank you!

Pictures coming soon!
