Its better to give than to receive!

Update posted by Maria Jehan Alimpuyo

Hi everypne,

I apologise for the lack of update about our projects progress.

There's still no electricity in the province and ive only just manage to find a caple to connect my camera on to this laptop. (i am technologically challenged at times).

With the money we've all raised, we help 20 familes buy corrugated roofs and nails. 

It was great to see old and new faces on the day of goods distribution. Most of them were so shy to receive something from total strangers, but you can tell on their faces how glad they were to have this materials. 

My Grandma used to tell me that its better to give than to receive, and thats exactly what I felt on that day. Especially when you can feel how grateful they are, their red and teary eyes says it all. 

I wish you were all there to witness that moment, it was pure bliss.

All the photos will be posted up soon.

These are the photos from my phone, and there many others that needs to be uploaded from my camera.

We still have some money left to buy school items for children in the local school. I'm looking to buy materials ready for the school opening in June.

 

I'm sure you all look forward to seeing their faces. I can't wait to see their cheeky grins. 

 

thank you very much everyone!!!
