Thanks Jason Smith for supplies to Sawali Village
Our dear brothers amd sisters,
Our daughter Patricia has informed us that the needy amongst the community of Sawali Village divided amongst themselves the supplies that Jason Smith bought and left behind. The supplies comprize clothes, rice and beans. It was all smiles on the faces of the villagers as they received the supplies which came as a surprise to them.
My wife and I extend our thanks and blessings to Jason Smith for the timely assistance (that has come from the little he has) he has given Sawali Village. Right now, Malawi as a whole is experiencing the greatest famine in history, and our Sawali village is no exception. The most affected in this great famine are women and children. Most of these Sawali people receiving this assistance survive on piece-works they are able to do for those of their people in jobs like me and wife. For example, my wife and I had to send some money home (to our daughter) for hiring people to work in our garden. Besides famine, most of our people in Malawi cannot afford to buy the expensive fertilizer. This is so because out of the eleven (11) million people in Malawi, only about one (1) million people have jobs. Even if the rains were to fall fairly, still, a great majority would harvest very little to take them to the following harvest.
