Day 55: Friday 11 December 2009 – Rice Drop Day.

Today was rice drop day at New Hope, the second Friday of the month.  With this one came two new delights – the huge smiles of two families I’ve been able to directly help through the generation of sponsorship and other support, meaning that the pressure to feed their families has been relieved, not just this month, but hopefully until they can stand on their own feet and support themselves.


Physically getting the rice, eggs and sauce home proves challenging to many, you'll see below.  One family juggled 50kg of rice and six humans!

Also, today I handed out the clothes and toys donated by friends in Hong Kong.  Thank you everyone!
