The mother that has 3 albino children came to the Child Center again this morning. She stops by every few weeks to pick up sunscreen for her children. Her children are too old to come to the Child Center but we still keep them supplied with sunscreen. We hope that the sunscreen will lower their chance for getting skin cancer. The albinos suffer terribly in this heat. It is so easy for them to get sunburned.
Divine and Timothy stopped by early this morning. They were here before Mr. Iddrisu came to work. Divine spent the past couple nights at Timothy’s house. He has purchased a plot of land at Kulkpeni. He said that he wants to put up a house. He said he was not going to move out of his village. He said he is building the house for the future because now that Kulkpeni has electricity he will be able do something with a building. Maybe he plans on renting it. Divine was headed back to Tamale. I think he is still attending the distance learning classes through the university in Winneba. He took the paper work for the churches with him. Sunday he told us that he wanted to go around to the churches with us so he would know exactly where the churches were located and meet more of the members.
This afternoon while I divided a hundred pound bag of sugar Steve worked on an electrical problem at the Child Center. After much trial and error he finally got the problem solved. Me, on the other hand, thought he should have just hired an electrician and been done with it but as it turned out I was happy because we saved some money! We bought the sugar to share with the military, police and immigrations officials. Every year Steve likes to take them a gift just to keep his face visible and to let them know that we are still around. You never know when you might need their assistance.
Today was Yendi’s big market day. I found the flour sacks that I was looking for. I plan to use them to line aprons. It took some doings to get the market lady that speaks English to understand what I was looking for. Finally I took her to the place where they were selling flour to show her what I was looking for. She laughed and in broken English said, “You should say “bread” sack.” Who knew?
Thank you for everything you do for us and for the work. We really appreciate the help.
Keep praying for us.
In His Service,
Steve and Kandie
