Food Distribution
Every quarter, we host a food distribution for our sponsored kids. It’s a busy day! We distribute 200-lb. bags of corn to 120 of our sponsored children, along with soap and a local favorite drink “beesap”. Our BFO teachers are fantastic at loving on these kids and always make it a fun day. They shared a message through interactive stories, plan games and an art activity, and bring out the jump ropes and frisbees. My job is to pester the kids with my camera so I can get updated photos for their sponsors. Did you know it is customary not to smile for photos in this country? It is a challenge to get a decent shot; but they have come a long way after years of me trying everything from tickling them, to begging them, even attempts at bribery!
At the same time, we entertain the mamas with song, a message, and a snack. I think they love the special time just for them.
Thank you to our child and widow sponsors who make it possible for us to impact the lives of so many!
