July 2019 Report

Dear friends

As I am typing this, I can faintly hear the melodic sounds of our staff singing.  Their African harmonies come effortlessly and passionately.  For nearly 10 years now I have had the privilege of hearing it and still it evokes something within me.  I hear them giving thanks for donors past, present and future.  They give thanks for having the good health to be at work.  They remember those who will go hungry tonight.  It is heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time.

Our ladies working at the nutrition unit have a particularly difficult task.  While we are able to help many, there just is not enough to meet the huge need.  “Come back tomorrow, uncle” I hear our ladies gently explain that we have run out of food.  “What about today’s hunger?” comes the haunting reply.

It is your contributions that eases “today’s hunger”.  Every dollar you contribute, enables us to purchase life giving food.  On behalf of the people of Missionvale, THANK YOU for your continued support.  You have our eternal gratitude.
