Dear friends,
One of our customers, Fassy Israel, works for the Anglican Diocese as a
Health Coordinator and has set up a local NGO called Mustard Seed. He wrote me
a report on some of his work in the form of a very moving testimony from one of
the older villagers. Fred Lokana (MAF Employee) recently visited him and the village and
has also made a report which I have attached. Fred reports that there is a
severe food shortage in the area and there is a need for clothes for many of
the people there.
It would be wonderful if as a team we can raise enough money to send out
some maize flour and beans for the most needy in the village. If we could raise
1.5M Ush this would buy us 20 sacks of maize flour (1000kg) that we could
take over.
If you have any clothes that you no longer wear would you be willing to
donate them to the community?
Admittedly what we would be able to offer is a drop in the ocean in terms of feeding and clothing people but I hope that it would send a blessing and a message that they are cared. Fred will go out with the gifts and work with Fassy in ensuring that they end up with the most needy folk.
If you would like to make a financial donation please do so this week.
Margaret has kindly agreed to coordinate the financial contributions. Please
feel free to pass them on to her or send her an email request for a payment
transfer from your account. If you have any clothes you would like to
give away please bag them and bring them into the old lunch room. It would
perhaps be helpful if you could segregate them into ladies, men’s or children’s
and label the bags.
Thank you for being a blessing!
Steve
