UPDATE ON THE 1,500 KIDS NEEDING HELP

Our team has been out all day with the Namuno Health Dept. officials
work­ing to choose the 350 fam­i­lies that are most mal­nour­ished, as they
will each get a sack of corn next week along with a por­tion of dried
beans.
Not a deci­sion I’d want to have to make.

We are orga­niz­ing a Pas­tor to “Cir­cuit Ride” via Bicy­cle to these villages
to teach the chil­dren about Jesus.  $120 will get him a Bicycle.

As of today, donors have giv­en an addi­tion­al 335 sacks of corn for our
ear­ly Novem­ber give out to these chil­dren.  Our goal is to give EACH CHILD
a sack so they can sur­vive till the new har­vest comes in ear­ly March.  ONE
SACK of Corn equals 4 months of food for 1 child.

Not bad for a $20 invest­ment. (hard to believe it can be done for so
lit­tle, but bulk corn is not very expensive).

Next week’s gift will be only ONE SACK/FAMILY, but that will help them
through the mid­dle of October.

Look­ing for­ward to hear­ing from more of you before Sept. 20th!
ONLY 1,165 sacks to go!

GOING TO PEMBA TOMORROW

Saman­tha Barn­hart from But­ler, PA is com­ing for a 90 day stay with us, so
I’m off to fetch her at the air­port and do oth­er busi­ness while in town.

Sam is an expe­ri­enced mis­sion­ary who has a real heart for kids.
I’ll be back on line by Sunday.

Veron­i­ca, the burn vic­tim, is heal­ing nice­ly.  I’m now tak­ing her to the
hosp­tial for dai­ly dress­ing changes, as I ran out of supplies.
She should be walk­ing with­in a month if all goes as planned.

THANKS FOR BEING WORLD CHANGERS BY PARTNERING WITH US!

Bless­ings,
Bush Bun­ny Bren­da, Leona, and the Bala­ma Staff.
