Please meet this family of 5- Gogo (Grandma) and her 4 grandchildren ages 4,6, 8, and 15 (at school, so absent from the photo). We had the pleasure of meeting the 6 year old at his school when we gave him his bedkit. He was wiggling with excitement when we came to his home and chatted with his Gogo. She was busy assembling his mosquito net, readying it to hang above his new bedkit. Her life has been typical, if a hard one- raising her grandchildren, living a hand to mouth existence by gathering firewood and selling it roadside. They live on borrowed land, and there are many worries about the future. Our discussion made us realize yet again how glad we are to be in this country, volunteering with wonderful, kind-hearted individuals who are working hard to improve the lives of children.
