A family in desperate need!

This is Renee.  My eyes are filled with tears for the suffering that Nancy, Besan, Jeanne, and Pastor Joe witnessed as they visited one of the newer homes to the program.  There are 3 boys that all have started first grade at age 8, 10 and 12.  They are just so happy to be able to go to school.  The children still all look malnourished with popped bellies.  When they gave them toys, the children sat on a rock and did not have energy to play.  Food only comes out once a month, so they would still be more then 10 days before they would get more food.  The travelers/missionaries gave the family all the protein bars they had with them and purchased eggs for them.  The Dad has died.  The Mom is trying...she had to sell her 13 year old girl to someone who would care for her if she was their servant.  The mom never sees her anymore, but knows she is alive.  The house they live in is not much bigger then a coffin.  It has no beds and 6 are living in the home.  All of them have jiggers on their feet.  After many tears, we pray along with the travelers/missionaries that there will be $500 to build this family a house to live in.
