Today we had our first group Bible study. We saw a short video about a 14 year old girl who is head of her household. Her mother has died and her 2 brothers, 1 sister and she live with her Grandmother (who has a mental capacity of a young child) in a small mud hut built by their mother before she died. Unfortunately, this is the norm for where we will be traveling to. Their births were not reported to the African government so the children were not allowed to attend school. Helping Hands (HH) has intervened and have helped with several items to make their life better! There is a caregiver that comes daily to look after the grandmother, the children have been logged into the government records and the younger children are able to attend school and the 14 year old is attending a vocational school. There was little food and all were malnourished. HH has made sure they are receiving vitamin enriched food and all are gaining strength.
All of us are proud to be able to go on this mission trip to do all we can do to bring Christ, love, joy and hope to villagers of Top.
Please continue to pray for the participants and our mission trip.
