One of our cute family groups: eldest sister Marian (left), younger sister Cheri (right), and and their baby brother Chikote.
Coop member Mirriam Sibale’s sixth daughter, Esnart, doing her morning house chores. Esnart is 13 years old and is in Grade Seven at Twatemwa Primary School.
This is Solomon Banda, the uncle to Esther Banda, one of the young women in our micro business program. Solomon has been making reed mats for quite some time. He is very creative and happy about his talent. He normally goes in the field to sell his reed mats to sustain his living. He lives here in Kantolomba and is the father of four, all of whom are in the Living Compassion nutrition program.
This is Karen N’gandwe, the first-born daughter to coop member Jowan and the late Reuben, who was also a coop member. Karen is in the Girls Program and just wrote her GCE exams (post-Grade-12 examinations). Now she is waiting for her results to know the way forward. The results are likely to come out this month.
Some of the team members pose for a photo.
Here is Onesta. She’s the one whose mum died recently and left a baby brother, Comfort. She’s saying "Thank you!" for the bags of mealie meal which are going to help her and her family. Comfort spends his days at Living Companion, too, being passed to many caring arms.
Good friends Onesta and Benadette after lunch. Comfort is resting on Onesta's back.
Former cooperative member Eugenia’s daughter Elizabeth is so happy. She is a mother of four, and one of them is Jennifer. Elizabeth says it’s a blessing to all of us to have a source of our staple food each month.
Coop member Mary carries her bag of mealie meal. Mary is former coop member Margret Chisenga’s daughter and took her mum’s place when Margaret retired. Mary takes care of her family, including her mother.
Docus gives a big smile to say thank you for the mealie meal.
A couple of very cute faces to end our post! Here are Maxwell and Stanley at their home here in Kantolomba. They are the sons of our security guard, Jackson Kunda, and siblings to Christin Kunda, who is in the Girls Program.
