Recently 200 bags of maize was delivered and put in our back yard. Our workers treated it like it was pure gold. They carefully placed it in the storage room in the little house in the back ground on the picture.
About 120 needy families will benefit form the maize, most of which are led by one or both parents suffering with AIDS. All of the people in our HIV program take antiretroviral medicines which help them to be healthy so they can work and also to prolong their lives. We will be giving them maize and beans to help sustain their families for four months during the famine.
We also plan to feed our orphans an extra day each week during those four months - maybe longer. This has been a vision of ours for a very long time. Thank you to our donors and to IDES for supplying this need.
