ORPHANS HELP GRANNIES CARRY FOOD GIFTS The first hand­outs are now com­plet­ed with 205 orphans and wid­ows receiv­ing their first food gift dur­ing this time of hunger. From Devo­tions to head­ing home, the pho­tos tell a bet­ter sto­ry than I can with words.

Singing before hear­ing the word of God at our Kwe Kwe food hand out.

Hap­py faces as there will be food on the table tonight!

These chil­dren all know that it takes every­one help­ing to get the food to their mud huts. It is won­der­ful to see them help­ing each oth­er, with neigh­bors help­ing neigh­bors so that these vul­ner­a­ble orphans have food on the table. To me, it’s the way it should be all over the world. Every­one help­ing those less for­tu­nate so that all may live.

HEY! This sack is mine! I’m guard­ing, so back off!

TRIPLET BABY BOYS NOW TEENAGERS These 3 young men, who came here as mal­nour­ished infants with their granny, are now 14 years old. It is rare that all 3 sur­vived, as most fam­i­lies lose at least 1 infant dur­ing the first year of their lives.

Triplet boys fetch­ing their sacks of corn before the head off to school at dawn.

I want­ed all of you to see the fruits of your faith­ful Love Gifts. These young men are now mak­ing bricks to build a new mud hut at their granny’s house. In this cul­ture, young men should not be sleep­ing with oth­er fam­i­ly mem­bers. (There are 2 oth­er fam­i­ly mem­bers liv­ing with the grand­moth­er as well.)Saving those who have no way to care for them­selves is what we do best.  THANK YOU, FOR IT IS YOUR LOVE GIFTS THAT MADE IT POSSIBLE TO SAVE THESE 3 YOUNG MEN AND THEIR GRANNY.  BLESSINGS, BUSH BUNNY BRENDA LANGE AND THE BALAMA STAFF
