I Love Wednesdays

I love Wednesdays. It feels like I am in the very middle of things, surrounded by piles of hard work and plans that are about to be accomplished. Work is progressing well on all plans and we are growing steadily.

I love to look at my life in a similar way, and to see the fruit of all my efforts: children who have food, education and medical assistance; joyful efforts made by good people; generosity.

Life is beautiful.

My Beautiful Children

Cold, cold, cold weather today, so we struggled to keep warm by working with vigor and good energy.

We are grateful and happy that our work goes on at a steady pace.

I am very grateful to my coworkers, Mugoya Swaliki for all the super-logistic work and distribution, and Mihaela Stoica for the beautiful media she does.

I am lucky to have the most beautiful children and the most perfect team!

Late Work

Today, an elder of the village passed away, so our colleagues went to the funeral. Thus, our work was a bit delayed and not finished, I hope our friends will forgive us.
The children are well, they picked their food and they were all taken home safely.

May we all enjoy a peaceful evening ❤

Weekend and Monday Work

My mind has been very restless this weekend, so I could not relax and disconnect from work. My closest friends know: whenever I am like this, the best therapy for me is to continue working – and this is, sort-of, what I did.

We have an ongoing medical case, of a baby who is too thin, almost transparent, weighing only 3 kg at the age of 4 months; her name is Praise and I hope we will save her. She has received help from HOCT friends and also, she has been admitted to a hospital in Jinja during the weekend, from where we have received good reports. It is likely that her condition improves.

Over the course of today, we chased the Monday blues away by working much, with good energy. Food was ordered in the morning and we distributed it in the afternoon. Children came and borrowed books from the library, played with each other and shared weekend stories.

I am happy when I work. I am very grateful for my colleagues and their hard work.

My life with HOCT is complete.
