Educating 500 students is not an easy task.
There are books to buy, shoes to buy, supplies to find, meals to cook. Yet somehow, year by year this happens.
Is this the effort of one? or a few? Not at all. How does the saying go? "Many hands make light work"
Last month I was in Zambia at the Chikumbuso project welcoming our new Executive Director and catching up on sponsorship. I was only there for two and a half weeks but it seemed to me that every single day someone new was coming to the center to volunteer or drop things off for the community.
On my last day there we received a shipment of boxes coming from the States. This shipment was organized by a woman who has only visited the center twice. These boxes were packed so neatly and were full of perfectly beautiful school supplies and clothing. Where does this generosity come from? How do we harness that passion found in others who truly want to help and bless those that go without?
It is true Charity: " love, benevolence, good will; that dispostiion of heart which inclines men to think favorably of their fellow men and to do them good".
