“OUR AFRICAN BUSH SHOP” (April 5, 2018 update)

Each year, HHTH takes as much clothing and useful essentials for the people in the Villages to “buy,” as possible.  They only pay a few Rand for most items, and that gives them the pride of ownership. It is rewarding to watch them select very useful items, and clothe their children and themselves for so little money. And HHTH takes that money and uses it to feed children who are in desperate situations.

Below, Aumawy poses in the wrap skirt and headdress that Joyce Vandervelt’s granddaughter, McKenzie made when she volunteered to sew to help Sidney sew. 

The ladies really enjoy getting a new wrap skirt and matching headdress. 

Sidney sewed 100 sets this year. 

Here, the girls titter over the men’s shorts contributed by Sidney’s son Jerry.  

They rarely get to purchase such things, so, they nearly grabbed them out of our hands. 

“HATS MADE WITH LOVE BY AN ANGEL’S HAND’S”

Audrey Diaz asked Sidney if she could crochet hats for our many little children.  

We stopped by The Palace of Mercy Creche.  

This sweet little girl wasn’t about to take Nuthin’ from a bleached out human. 

This little guy was lost in sleep, so missed out on the hats. But we left him one by his dreams. 

Janco is showing plumbing parts for a project starting Monday morning. He is making a plan to install a septic tank at the Palace of Mercy.  We will be down “into the hole” to get the work all done.  Nelson and Frank, two of our farmers will then backfill the huge hole (by hand) around the new septic tank. The children will have two of the very few indoor toilets in the area.

This is the little store where we buy the food for a new 25 orphans. 

It is a small village’s version of a Kroger’s store.

“ANITA’S FABRIC”

Anita is the general manager for Awelani.  She helps HHTH in many ways.

To show our appreciation, Sidney sewed her 2 beautiful tablecloths.

We send our gratitude... Until next time,
From the Bush with Love,

Sidney
