Toronto is really just the crossroads for some of us. May and her sister is back from their personal humanitarian project in Cambodia. Shawna is busy tidying up before her trip to Kenya. I am awaiting my final details before heading to Cameroon. Elaine is talking about a return to Africa. We take this rare chance when all are in the same city to catch up on our adventures.
A few hundred dollars made such huge impacts on lives. May and her sister had noticed an old woman who was shunned by the monks while waiting hours for a bag of rice. The two buy rice, then show the woman’s photo around the village to find her. During the delivery, they notice and address other needs--stabilizing a rickety ladder to prevent fall, getting roofing material to stop the ongoing leak, buying a bicycle for the middle-aged daughter. For less than $400 they make a huge difference in this family’s life.
And this is the bonus project. The Full Tummy Farm project is close to completion: the fish farm, mushroom house, pigs-- sustainable sources of protein and income for 49 orphans in Cambodia. What the two have accomplished in 8 weeks is so inspiring.
