Perhaps you remember Onesta? Her mum died recently and she was left as the sole caregiver to her young siblings, including a baby brother. We, the Living Compassion team, stepped in to provide childcare during the day so Onesta can continue to participate in the micro business program. She also now receives extra mealie meal, like all the cooperative members, to make sure she and her siblings have enough to eat at home. Here she is smiling to say thank you so much, Team, for showing her that she is not alone in this world to take care of her family. On her back is her baby brother.
Here he is!
And speaking of cute babies, here we are on a Tuesday call with the U.S. team with a visitor--Cheri’s son came with his mum to be with us. He is a very a cute baby who takes after both his mum and his grandmother, Josephine.
Here is coop member Jacqueline caring for another member’s baby at Living Compassion. All the babies are welcome, as we have a lot of hands and hearts to take care of them!
Now it’s Docus’s turn.
The delivery of our mealie meal is always a big event.
The delivery comes in a huge truck.
Susan Mwanza sweeping the corridors. She participates in the micro business ventures and is a very good cook and helps Benadette baking. Her goal is to open her own restaurant.
Brenda and Mary Bwalya helping each other sweep. It was windy and much help was needed to tidy the compound.
Docus helps out, too, and avoids the dust by wearing a scarf around her head.
