Day 5
Come visit the home of a bedkit recipient with us ………
Try to imagine a bucolic tropical setting surrounded by lush vegetation, coconut palms, papaya, and banana trees. Serene and peaceful! Sounds inviting and stress free, doesn’t it.? No traffic, no punching in the clock, no deadlines to meet, no blackberries.
Now try to imagine an area of hard pan red clay about 6 x 10 metres, swept spotlessly clean. Imagine a tiny shelter made of mud with a thatched roof. About 2 X 8 metres. This is home to two families. No running water, enough cassava for one meal a day, no electricity, no protection from rain or snakes. In one of these rooms, the bedkit will provide comfort, not only for the child who received it, but for the entire family.
Have a look at the photos. You will understand how we struggled to write this blog post.
