Donating to the Needy and Ways to Economic Sustainability

Donkeys have always been referred to as the "beast of burden". They serve as our "flat bed truck". Owning one or two can help get one out of poverty, as they carry water to the arid areas, and bulky items to the nearest market place. Their care and maintenance is uncomplicated - they eat grass and sleep throughout the night and work all day.

These are the orphans talked about in my earlier posting. Here I am handing-over bales of maize flour, sugar and cooking oil. These are basic necessities which will sustain them for about one month. The cooking oil is for resale. It is repackaged in smaller sachets for the villagers at an affordable rate. This way they are able to purchase other food-stuffs, bathing soap and necessities. The profit from such a venture is always 70%.

In the upcoming weeks, there will be a "Donations" function linked to our blog for anyone wishing to contribute to our cause monetarily. In addition, I will post a mailing address and a list of "Items Needed" for anyone who wishes to contribute in that regard.

I am deeply appreciative of your heartfelt care and interest in supporting Our Vision: to help expand the wealth and beauty in this wondrous world we collectively call "home".
