DUMAY FOOD DISTRIBUTION

This morning by 5:00 Willem, Stephen & a crew from the Gramothe/Thomassin area were arriving in the village of Dumay with rice. The villagers were taken by surprise that food would be distributed so early in the morning.
As the people came out of their homes & tents, shivering from the morning cold, they were asked to form 2 lines & prepare to receive a 50 lb. bag of rice, one for every 4 persons to be shared & the very elderly would receive 1 full bag.
The lines began at the school & continued down the dirt path leading all the way to the raod.
After the rice was unloaded from the trucks into the MTM school building, the distribution began in a very orderly fashion. Once the lines were completed a new line was formed with children. There was enough rice remaining that every 5 children were allowed a full bag to share. Everyone in the village that came for distribution left with food. To this we are graeful & give thanks to God for his provisions.

Our apologies, due to difficulties with Blogger, we were not able to download pictures at this time. We will do so as soon as possible.
