We recently took the three younger children
from this family onto our sponsorship scheme and a home visit to determine the
living conditions showed that bedding for the two youngest boys “Ice” and “Jew”
was desperately needed to replace the old and soiled bedding that they were
using. It was decided that as the room was high enough to put in a set of bunk
beds which would take less floor space than two single beds. We ordered the
bunk beds along with sheets and pillows and they have now been delivered.
Suky did her usual grand job of organizing
the delivery of the bed so that when the children came in from school it was
all set up for them. They were just thrilled. It's going to make a real
difference in their lives, I would say.
You can see in some of the photos that the
rice cooker is broken and they are cooking for everyone on a small charcoal
burner. Not easy - and judging by the base of the fan at the back of the
burner, this is also broken beyond repair.
You can see the photo that the sponsor sent, set up on the T.V. - in the place of honour. We thank him for his generosity and genuine compassion for the plight of these children. We're most grateful.

It will not matter how big your bank account
was, the sort of house you lived in, or the kind of car you drove. But the
world may be a little better because your help touched the life of one child.
