Week 3

Week 3 21/1/13 – 28/1/13

Tuesday – Monday

As I have been a bit slack with blogging I actually can’t remember each day, however I will do a summary of what we did this week as its events are important in understanding future references.   

On Tuesday my east group went to the slums for the first time to pick out our slum family we didn’t have much luck as many of the families had power in the homes and they just didn’t see right. Then we were leaving and Richard and Laurence quickly popped over to a house mad of mud and said that they were a good family for us so we settled on that even though Winnie, Mary and I hadn’t seen them; it just felt right. Then on Wednesday we all went to the family to meet them and access any of their needs. There are two families one woman who we believe works as a prostitute and has one child and has taken in a street boy and then another woman who is the landlord and her husband works very hard has four children I think and is pregnant, she has HIV and so do two of her children. It is a very sad situation se we are going to try and bless them as much as we can. On Wednesday we went shopping for items we thought would be helpful to them; so we brought some food (rice, beans, portoe and fruit), some shoes for the kids and then a container to put medicine in with about $20 dollars. Then on Friday we went and delivered them and the family was very happy and grateful saying that God had answered their prayers. Then on Sunday we went and visited the Watoto village were I washed clothes. It has been a while and so I am trying to remember the events of week three in week six. Anyway this gives you a general idea of week three and its events just for future knowledge. Thinking of my mother this week, miss her dearly and can't wait to see her again. Peace out from Africa.
