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!
