As always we began our day with our daily prayer service around the bonfire with our guest of honor being Sr. Pat.
Ann, Liz, Alexis, Lisa, Suzanne, Sherri, Megan, and Hannah found a more suitable project for themselves by painting the library walls and shelves bright primary colors. Creating a more inviting experience for school teachers and children to further their education. We have Father Chibwe to thank for the colorful paint he traveled to 5 different markets to get us the paint that we thought would best fit. The hospitality again is unreal. In addition we have a donation from Trent Grzegorczyk's former business consisting of three flat screen computers that are being installed in the library as well.
Sherri, Megan, Joey, Liz, Matthew, and Alexis were able to visit the village of Simakumba to see the children (past and present) on the mothers milk program. The generosity and appreciation from the mothers and gaurdians is overwhelming. Our group took presents consisting of donated beanie babies, necklaces, toy cars, handmade dresses made by the ladies of gagetown, and drinks. To our surprise we were reciprocated with the most gracious of gifts. With how "little" they have it tugs at your heart strings when the ladies danced and brought us beans, nuts, pumpkins, and casaba root. When we say "little" we use the word very loosely because we come to Lukulu Zambia we have so much to learn and gain from the beautiful locals here. They have so incredibly much spiritually and we always come home with even more than we've brought.
Thank you again so much for staying tuned feel free to share! God bless and keep up all the prayers! God is good all the time!
Happy birthday Josie!! -Suzanne
