These are pictures of us on our way to the tribal village close to our house. We are doing a feeding program up there with all the underweight children. Every second day our family goes up and feeds them breakfast and lunch, alternating days with the Penwells. Many of them are bare foot and don't have enough clothing. The other day in the rain we saw a little boy, about three, wearing only a plastic bag as a shirt. It is a rich area in surrounding beauty but their lives are riddled with the effects of poverty. So strange as it is so close to our house, and surrounded by resorts. We hope to get many of the kids into a healthier weight category as this is often the only thing that stands between them and dying of some simple illness.
