Feed the Children

May 2009 from www.kenyaskidsinneed.blogspot.com

Just wanted to share these photos- just in from Kenya, look at all the happy faces of the kids who had lunch today, many for the very first time. Last week only the lucky ones who had sponsors, those considered the neediest of the needy or their parents could pay $4 a month for lunch were eating, today over 1000 children in pre-k to class 8 had lunch. I wonder what was going though their minds or the staff lining them up or the cooks preparing the food and cleaning up afterwards?


What do you think the students told their parents when they got home? How was the bowl of maize and beans? What did they dream about last night? or Friday after they took their note home telling their parents in order to eat on Monday they have to bring a bowl (spoons are optional fingers work in a pinch). Do you think any feared they may not eat because they did not have a bowl? or afraid it might only be a dream?

I just can't even imagine what it is like one day the truck from Feed the Children shows up, you know they say it is coming but January comes and goes no truck, February comes and goes, March, and April, the economy is down, charities are saying yes we want to help but donations are down, we can help you when we get money. Then all of a sudden one day the truck shows up and says, it is your turn, we told you we would come but it just was not your turn yet.

Holly will have a report when she gets home. She did share one father came to school after receiving a note on Friday that lunch will start for all primary kids on Monday wanting to make sure it was true, that it was really happening and to send his greatest Thank You to everyone for making it happen. Holly will have his story when she gets home. THANK YOU FEED THE CHILDREN. Tonight over a 1000 children will be going to bed with full stomachs, and time for me to say my prayers of thank you, and that Feed the Children will continue to have the resources to feed our children at Galilee, and we will continue to have the funds to pay the cooks and purchase the fuel.

Miracles do happen every day! and this is one of them....
