Today was the day of unleashing hope to 115 widows! They all received food, a blanket, and a mattress. The widows are so poor that they are just trying to survive day to day and are considered the outcasts in the culture. They were so filled with joy and hope from these gifts! As the widows were going to their homes and walking through the community with the mattresses, the people in the village were saying, “Thank you for helping the poorest of the poor, God is really shining through you! Thank you for helping our community (rough translation).” If you can imagine many of these widows are caring for little children, they and the child might be sleeping in the dirt floor in a mud house or if they have a bed, the mattress is shredded or falling apart as they are all made of foam. It was truly an amazing experience for all of us!
