We had quite the journey and experience today through a lot of crazy traffic and many very poor villages. It’s a long trip to the farm and very bumpy on mostly dirt
roads. It is about a 2-hour drive and is in a very remote area and we passed a
few people who live in dirt homes made of bricks, straw and hay. Most of the
people we saw looked surprised to see us and Dongo said they have probably
never seen a white person. We broke ground on a 4-acre cornfield and then planted
more banana trees. It is very hot and dry here now. Please pray for rain. If
they get the normal amount of rain, the corn will feed the kids in both schools
for one semester. There is no irrigation so they are totally dependant on God
to provide the rain for their crops. It was a good team building day for us
with lots of competition on who could plant the fastest. It was great to spend
time with Pastor Dongo and hear his vision to continue to think of ways to
provide for the children. Bob said it best at dinner tonight, Dongo continues
to amaze us with his love and great ideas to help these kids! He is so
inspiring, such a man of integrity and character.....and really funny I might add!
