these ladies are holding school supplies that they purchased to send to needy children in the Congo! There was quite a collection and we assembled 27 kits! WOW! 27 children who will learn that people do care!
Thank you, ladies, so very much, for what you have done! (that's "ASANTE SANA SANA" from the Congolese children!)
I love these ladies! They have such generous hearts! Please give them your vote of encouragement in the comment box!!

"The eastern Kivu and northeastern areas remain unstable with regular violence, a patchwork of rebel forces and militias. Around 1.3 million people in the east of the country alone have been uprooted. Life in refugee camps is miserable and uncertain. Those interned are vulnerable to militia attacks, disease and sexual predation, and they live with little or no resources for anything beyond mere survival. Untold horrors have been committed against many thousands of innocents. The Church’s social impact has grown, since it has emerged as the only viable national structure to endure in the general social, political and economic collapse of the country. Despite the destruction of countless churches and ministry buildings, only the Church has plugged the gap left by a failed state in terms of caring for the many needs in this broken land".....(Operation World)

The Eastern Congo is where I work......there is much work to be done!
