11th distribution===ALL PRAISES TO GOD! Report from Jack.....

Lydia

Elizabeth
The eleventh distribution took place today. We thank the lord for the far He has brought us. He has been faithful enough. Hope has risen to many and we pray more is to come.

The day was great. Most of the guardians were present together with their children. Diana, Vivian, Chrispinus and Evangeline are busy preparing for the national exams and therefore were not present at the venue. Their guardians were not there either and instead of giving them monthly supply, the team is now focusing on how they will make it to the high school. This is going to be a great challenge but we are believing the lord of miracles.
The meeting kicked off at exactly ten o’clock with the junior team and then the senior team joined later. Most guardians did not have questions during the session. I think this is because most of the questions were answered during the last distribution. They just came for their gifts and also get some information from the staff.
Christian morals of the children was the main topic. The team encouraged the parents to help their children to understand how the lord has loved them and pray for salvation to their children for there is no meaning in all of these when they are destined to go to hell. Joseph urged the guardians to unite in prayer and dedicate the team which is going to sit for national exams next week to the almighty God.
Frank highlighted on various things including the plans a head. He urged the guardians to work hard in whatever income generating activities they are involved in e.g. farming, small business etc. This will enable the guardians to become independent hence being able to take care of the children on their own. He said TGD is willing to help so long as they have a good plan and strategy.
Each child received the following items; 2kgs of sugar, 2kgs of rice, 2kgs of wheat flour, 1 liter of cooking oil,100gms of Dettol soap, bar soap,2 rolls of tissue paper, tea leaves, salt and mango fruits.
Special cases were as follows; Zainabu, Cynthia, Sharon and Lillian received sanitary towels. Fredrick and Yvonne received amaranth and aloe vera juice which has greatly boosted their general health. The following continues to receive money for buying milk to keep them throughout the month, these are; Emmanuel, Benjamin, Yvonne, Fredrick, Elizabeth and Asman.
There was lunch for the whole team. Children took fresh juice and bread while the guardians and the staff had sodas and bread. We shared these blessings together and their faces spoke much louder than words. After the meal all the guardian received their luggages. We had photos together and gathered for a special closing prayer by Joseph. We also had a short staff meeting after the distribution.
This program is a great relief to this impoverished society. We pray that our God helps our donors to really understand the critical role they are playing in the lives of these children. We bless them and may goodness and mercies of our lord follow them all forever more. Amen.
