This morning we went to the school at the town close to the farm to help with serve lunch to the kids there. The lunch is financed through sponsors and it was really neat to see this and being part of it. I have a bit more energy today so I could ACTUALLY do something and it was awesome! I’m realizing more and more that I love ministries that include food, feeding people, ... I guess I have the gift of hospitality!
We first visited the school, it’s a building with a roof and half walls, which is great with the heat!!! There are 6 classes from pre-school to grade 5. The classrooms are quite basics, but they make do with what they have.
The lunch consisted of “sudza” (don’t know how to spell it) and beans. It smelled good and tasted good too, but it’s really not that great in nutritive value. They roll this couscous looking white food into the juice of the beans and eat it (with their fingers off course). The kids ate big plates of it and all came for seconds. They ate until we were completely out of food!

This afternoon Mike tried to fix the office’s computer, but it’s really hard when no one knows where any of the CD’s are!!! I helped out a lady there name Eunice with the women’s ministry. We rolled some thread for cross stitching, as they are teaching them that skill. They really work in empowering the people so they can teach their own, and also to teach them skills that they can use to make money.
