July Distribution- Food for All!

You can see that the children really enjoyed the food. They were given Nshima and beef stew. The Zambia team has had some problems getting good pictures of the children because the majority of them are camera shy. They are not used to seeing cameras let alone posing for them! I am sure they will get used to the camera as the team continues to visit them every month. I plan to send the photos that have been taken of my sponsor children and send the children themselves copies. Hopefully, this will show them what the photos are being used for, and they will want to continue to pose for the camera.

Hanantonga Enjoying his Lunch

Here is Hanantonga eating during July distribution. He seems more physically limited here that he has in the other videos.

Children Eating at Distribution Pt 2

Little Judith is showing of her hair and eating skills in this video. This looks like more food than her belly could possibly hold!

Children Eating at Distribution Pt 1

Beef stew and nshima! Yummy!! They ran out of seats, so this small group made their own table outside.

The ECCDE Teacher thanks the sponsors

The ECCDE/Preschool teacher in Simwaba came to the distribution. He wanted to personally thank the sponsors for their support. The preschool teachers are extremely grateful for the help because the sponsorship benefits include school books and learning tools for the children. All of the children benefit from this, and it will make teaching much more fun (not to mention easier)!!
