Finding forgotten memories on my phone

A windy early morning run
Hearing the great stories from Mercy Ministries
The opportunity to be creative and help Lisa decorate for the African Onboarding Graduation
And the opportunity to celebrate these 14 men and one women who have put in so much time and hard work into their training. They also started a program in a local village to teach the mamas how to make a nutritionally rich and balanced cereal so that their children can grow healthy and fat. This was after discovering the government stopped supplying the cereal, this group learned how to make it, provided and taught it to 30+ participants and is handing the ministry over to a local ONG to continue the work.
Hearing about Nana’s Seed Project for onboarding where is helping a local man build a Pous Pous (bicyle taxi) business so he can provide for his family
