Dear ,
Look what's happening in Tanzania!
Beyond the obvious job of feeding the hungry, it has always been the objective of FFCC to help those in need to help themselves. It was, therefore, with great joy that we recently received an email and pictures from Sister Hilda at the Children's Center in Singida, TZ, detailing the work she and the staff had done since the FFCC visit in June! Storage cabinets to house all the cups, plates, and equipment that are used to serve 1,000 meals each day are completed. Repairs to the water channeling system (the Center uses treated rain runoff for drinking water) have also been completed. In addition, negotiations with city officials for road modifications in front of the Center, the construction of a playground at a nearby school, and the provision of school uniforms for Center kids have all progressed. Last but not least, a long list of minor repairs and painting jobs have been completed.
Clearly, the folks we're assisting are treating your time, talent, and treasure as a hand-up and not a hand-out, and that's the real legacy we want to see! |
