Trekking our way on beaten paths through the villages.
A child taking a nap; no soft bedding for them.
Palm nut - crush up and make soup and the liquid is used to make palm oil. Palm butter is very popular here.
Chris with new molds for making bricks. That will be his new business.
Morris, our driver, is standing next to him.
Joma Kulie sitting on the ground before getting his new wheelchair.
After 21 years of getting around on the ground, he can finally sit in a wheelchair!!!
Joma with his adult daughters and grandchildren.
Hannah Korlubah, a sponsored student, with her mother at their very very poor home.
Marsha with Hannah's mother. We are going to try to find her a place to rent closer to town as well as get her set up in a business.
Hannah and her brother (check out their footwear).
Gifty Wah's mother with her bundle of used clothing to sell as a business. They sell them in "bales" like this and you don't know what you're going to get.
Grace Nelson (one of our sponsored students) with her grandfather and mother.
Grace Nelson at her grandfather's home. Grace's mom lives over an hour out of town so Grace lives with an auntie in the city so she can go to school. Families are divided by poverty and do what they can to get into school!
Some kids in Grace's village - abondoned buildings from the war. You can see the bullet holes in the walls!
Ariel with Belekai, a seamstress. We purchased bundles of lappa for her. (3 yards is a lappa)
Purchasing supplies for Comfort to start her own business selling flour, rice, salt, oil.
She is illiterate, and here Chris and Maurice are trying to explain to her what a business is. Chris will continue to follow up with her on this.
Comfort with some of her new supplies.
This is what a child looks like when seeing a white woman for the first time!!
For those who can afford to do so, this is African style meat.
no hoist? NO PROBLEM ... Les will appreciate this one!
