Yesterday we delivered the first dinner pack for our opssss not 20 anymore…. Our 21 kids. We have also adopted a girl. Her story is very said and all the teachers asked Genet to include her in our group. Her father raped her and is in jail, and her mother came from a camp in Sudan. I do not know many details but I will try to get involved with the families as I told you before.
The shopping for the dinner pack was crazy and funny. On Saturday we went to Merkato, and I drove all around the biggest market in Africa. There we got cooking oil, hair oil, soap and shiro which is a special power they use in Ethiopian food. The day before yesterday we finalized the shopping with 100 kg of beans and 100 kg of pasta hahaha they call it macaroni…. Our craft’s room looks like a little shop. I am not delivering 200 kg of anything at once, but it was cheaper to buy in bulk and we have room to store it.
That’s what is in the dinner pack:
- 1kg potatoes
- 1kg carrots
- 2 kg beans
- 2 kg macaroni
- 1 cooking oil
- 1 hair oil
- 2 bars of soap
- 1 kg of shiro
The new girl got a different pack because we were not counting on her, but I added extra cooking oil and extra carrots to make up for other things missing. She also got all the stationary we had given to the other kids in September as we had extra stored at home.
We have enough money for food in November and there are more donations coming from the US and Brazil.
Marc helped me a lot , and loaded the car.
Last minute news: Yesterday late afternoon I got a call from Marc. That’s what he said: “The biology teacher ordered 500ml of milk, but they misunderstood the order and delivered extra 18 liters of milk. He cannot keep it or use.” So……………….. this morning I took it to our kids. The lady who works at the cafeteria protects our kids a lot, she fights the older students because of them so today I decided to compensate her for the good work, and also to keep her motivated at her task to feed our kids. I will be paying her 10 dollars every month, and she was very happy indeed with a little extra income every month. She makes 30 dollars a month working at the school. She is in the pictures of the milk breakfast!
God is such a good guy… I dreamed a lot about giving milk to the kids, and then he sends us this nice gift.
And there is more, we are going to receive a donation from the Brazilian Angels (Joinville). My friend’s friend asked for donations for our kids as birthday present, it was so emotional to hear these news. Thanks you Brazilian Angels !!!!!!!!
And there is even more hahahaha Today I asked permission to the school director to paint the area where they eat. He allowed, and Marc and will ask some students from his school to help us on a Saturday morning. The kids will be there and will also participate.
PORTUGUES
Queridos
Hoje nos entregamos o primeiro kit jantar pras nossas opsssss nao sao 20 …. Pras nossas 21 criancas. Nos adotamos outra menina. A estoria dela e bem triste e todos os professors pediram pra genet acrescenta-la no nosso grupo. Ela foi estrupada pelo pai e ele esta na cadeia agora. A mae vem de um campo de refugiados no Sudao. Eu ainda nao sei muitos detalhes mas vou tentar me envolver mais com as familias como eu ja falei pra vcs.
As compras pro kit jantar foram engracadas. Sabado nos fomos ao merkato e eu dirigi por tudo no maior Mercado da Africa. Nos compramos oleo de cozinha, oleo de cabelo e shiro que e um poespcial usado na cozinha Etiope. Ontem nos finalizamos as compras com 100kg de feijao e 100kg de pasta hahaha they call it macaroni.. O Nosso quarto de pintura parece uma venda. Eu nao vou entregar 200kg de nada de uma vez so, mas ficava mais barato comprar em grande quantidade and nos temos lugar pra guardar o que ficou pro proximo mes.
Isso e o que tem no kit jantar:
- 1 kg batatas
- 1 kg cenouras
- 1 kg feijao
- 2 kg macarrao
- 1 lt oleo de cozinha
- oleo pra cabelo
- 2 barras de sabao
- 1 kg shiro
A menina nova recebeu um kit different por que nao estavamos ocntando com ela, mas eu adicionei 1 lt de oleo e mais cenouras pra compensar as outras coisas que ficaram faltando. Ela tambem recebeu os cadernos e materias que nos demos pras outras criancas em Setembro por que nso tinhamos extra em casa.
Nos temos dinheiro suficiente para comida em Novembro e tem mais doacoes vindo dos USA e Brasil.
O Marc me ajudou muito e colocou todas as sacolas no carro.
Extra extra, noticias frescas: Ontem de tardezinha eu recebi uma ligacao do Marc. Ele falou “O professor de biologia encomendou 500 ml de leite mas eles nao entenderam direito e entregaram 18 litros a mais de leite. Ele nao pode usar isso pra nada” Entao……………… hoje de manha eu levei tudo pras nossas criancas. A senhora que trabalha na cantina protege as nossas criancas e ate briga com os outros alunos maiores pra defende-los. Ai hoje eu resolve compensa-la pelo bom trabalho e tambem mante-la motivada no trabalho de alimentar as nossas crinacas. Eu vou pagar 10 dolares pra ela por mes, e ela ficou muito feliz com esse extra. Ela ganha 30 dolares por mes na escola. Ela esta na foto do café da manha com leite.
Deus e muito bom mesmo, eu sonhei tanto em dar leite pras criancas e ai ele nos deu isso de presente.
E tem mais, nos vamos receber uma doacao dos Anjos do Brasil (Joinville). O amigo do meu amigo, vai fazer aniversario e pediu como presente doacoes pras nossas criancas, foi emocionante ouvir isso. Valeu Anjos do Brasil !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
E tem mais ainda hahahaha Hoje eu pedi autorizacao pro diretor da escola pra pintar a area que eles comem. Ele autorizou, e o Marc vai pedir pra alguns alunos da escola dele pra nos ajudar num sabado de manha. As criancas vao estar la e tambem vao participar
