It's the little things we tend to take for granted that mean so much to our Burkinabé friends.Just this morning we were able to make a little girl's day by giving her a beautiful T-shirt dress. She was so proud to model it for us.
Thanks so much Margaret Cox
and Meremac Bluffs Senior Living Community for making this possible.
We couldn't imagine a classroom with no books but here children are excited to have a textbook.Most village schools either have no books or a single book must be shared by three or more students. When a friend found a contact in France who was ready and willing to mail French textbooks and novels to our school, students were thrilled. For the first time a classroom library will be available to our middle school students. Thank you Dawn Malcolm !
Sadly upon our return we learned that two widows in our sponsorship program have died. Malaria is the suspected cause of death. One widow who died cared for her grandson since his birth.We were able to give Siaaka a photo of his grandmother who meant so much to him.
