Story
On the 21st July (3 weeks time!) we will be leaving to go and visit the Bana Besu Feeding Project & Lufutuko Community School which are situated in the town of Kawama which is on the outskirts of Kabwe, Zambia.
The children that we support financially are those who have lost one or both parents and come from families where they have no money. Many of these children only get 1 meal a day which is provided by the school that we have had built.
Whilst we are out there visiting the children, we will be taking the opportunity to visit the place where they live. In most cases this is a just a mud hut in the bush area. Many of these children do not have any parents and so will be living with aunts, grandparents or just anyone that is prepared to take them in.
We will be keeping a blog everyday to show you our time out there along with photos of our visits to the children's homes and of the food we will be giving them thanks to your donations.We will also try and video some of the children so that we can share a little bit of their lives with you.
We have set our target at £100. For only £5 we will be able to buy a large bag of rice which will help feed a family for a whole week, so with our target of £200 we will be able to feed 40 children (!) and their families for a week if they are lucky enough to have one.
If you would like to help us in this venture please donate now :)
Every penny makes a difference and every penny will be going straight to help feed the vulnerable children in Zambia.
Thank you x
