FROM “BUSH BUNNY BRENDA“ DATE: AUGUST 28, 2021 AUGUST GIVE-OUTS COMPLETED The orphans are growing up, thanks to your commitment with your Love Gifts. Here are a few more photos, this time from the 4 villages in the Kwe Kwe area. On Tuesday, our team served 135 orphans cared for by 71 widows. THANK YOU FOR GIVING THEM A CHANCE AT A FUTURE. ![]() Guarding the food for his 2 siblings and Granny. ![]() Life-sustaining food. Not fully appreciated by most until you’ve gone hungry. ![]() 2 orphans carefully divide their food so they can carry it home. Not a kernel lost. GIRL’S ROOM PAINTINGS BRIGHTEN EVERYONE’S DAY. Vicente did a great job bringing “Creation” to life with a few local animals thrown in. My “bunny-rabbits on a binge” idea became a reality through Vicente’s paintbrush. ![]() CREATION, GOD’S gift to us all, brightens the girl’s room. ![]() My wild idea. “Bunnies in the garden”. Eating what they shouldn’t of course! As we admired his work, he was busy putting his talent to work creating a “tweaked Noah’s Ark” in the #7’s dining room. Vicente always changes each Noah’s Ark in some little way, so they are never exactly the same. BUSH BUNNY TIDBITS 1. Alferes is now playing soccer after a 10-day-fight with malaria, together with a magnesium deficiency that caused his muscle spasms. Magnesium supplements and extra vitamin B quickly resolved his muscle irritation. 2. Construction of a new kitchen at the Gazelle house is taking shape at a tremendous pace with carpenters and brick-layers using their famous remodeling skills. Our builders will tell you that building from scratch is much easier than remodeling. ![]() Old kitchen (L) and new food room on right. The kitchen will include a longer, shaded veranda and a spacious storeroom for their food supplies. The roof and veranda floor are being completed as I write. UNTIL NEXT WEEK, WE IN BALAMA BID YOU GOODBYE FOR NOW. Please keep us all in your prayers, as we pray for all of you, plus our Christian family in Afghanistan. BLESSINGS, BUSH BUNNY BRENDA LANGE AND THE BALAMA STAFF |
