Today, Micah and I had the opportunity to hand out food and Christmas goodies at the Lilaya Feeding Project that is put on by our local church. Lilaya is a small community outside of Lusaka. Last year, two women from South City Community Church, saw a need only a few miles from their home and were determined to be part of the solution to help orphans and very poor children get a good meal. Most of these kids have very little food to eat during the week and the nshima and soya relish that Yolanda and Illka bring every Wednesday is probably the most nutritious thing they will have have all week.
These are the youngest that come to Lilaya.
Micah helps hand out food with Yolanda. I was so proud of Micah that he got right in there and helped and played with some of the younger kids.
Micah wanted to eat some of the nshima...he's not choking in this picture....just a funny shot.
Some of the kids that got a meal today. The adult in the picture, Anna, is one of the teachers at the school. She and her husband run the school and orphanage.
We saw some pretty happy faces after the treat bag and drinks were handed out.
