This trip was a life changing event for me because I was able to look at life from a different perspective. I think of all the things we, as Americans, take for granted like the ability to see after the sun goes down. We have electricity in our homes and we often fail to stop to think that some people have to go to bed when the sun goes down because of no light. We can switch the lights on and off at the flick of a finger.

We throw away so much food, it doesn’t make any sense. People are starving every day in other countries but we fail to understand how blessed we are. If we stop, think and even send some of the food that we waste to the hungry children inAfrica, we could end the starvation/malnutrition epidemic. I witnessed a little boy about the age of 6, who appeared to be no older 2 ½ – 3 years old. He was under nourished. My 6 year old son looks like a 9 year old compared to him. When I

At Tanyaradzwa they feed 68 children and 7 adults with only enough dishes for less than 4 people

found out his age, I was heartbroken. We can continue to pray for the starvation around the world but the truth is that we have to all do our part to feed the hungry. Also, it was hard to believe that they had to feed 68 children and 7 adults with only enough dishes for less than 4 people. Therefore, they had to eat in shifts in order for everyone to eat from a dish.

The village that we were visiting in Tanyaradzwa had no place to worship God (church) and no bibles. A place of worship is important to the people. When it rained, they had no cover for themselves. The people want to learn but they can’t because no one had bibles to study when they leave their gathering. We helped to build a church but it wasn’t the all-out weather shelter but it kept the rain out. Just imagine if they had a whole building. We can make a change by supplying them with bibles and assisting the youth in this village can help change Africa’s tomorrow!
