Causes are great and all, but what can really motivate me to action is love. Love cause me to travel, speak up, and sacrifice for others. What we hope to do through Rice and Beans is to deepen your love for brothers and sisters around the world who are vulnerable and could use some love.
The kids that Lahash partners with live in three different nations. I'd like to share photos of the kids that will be receiving our gifts at the end of March.
The kids in this first picture live at Amazing Grace in Adjumani, Uganda. Many of you are familiar with the hell that these kids have been through by following the good work of Invisible Children. War, disease, and hopelessness have marked the past 20 years in the region. Currently the region is stabilizing, but these children can use all the help they can get as they grow up. I took this picture in October when our team stopped there for several days.
The picture below is of the Tenderfeet School in Kibera during early 2007. These children live in the world's largest slums (Kibera, Kenya) and have had a rough go at life. The compassionate teachers at Tenderfeet Education Center are showing God's love to these kids by providing free or subsidized education, food, spiritual counseling, and medical assistance. The children are now schooling at two campuses and we are excited to help the food program at these two school buildings.
My friend took this photo of me and the kids of Dodoma, Tanzania early in 2009. These kids have been infected or affected by HIV. Some of these dear kids have incredible courage despite having life cut short by the horrible disease of HIV/AIDS. Many of them live in homes with many vulnerable kids and the food provided is minimal. We hope to share God's love with them through meals over this next year with your help.
