Kabula Widows


HERE IS THE PHOTO - YAY!

We were blessed to get to meet with 3 widows while we were visiting a church in Kabula, a sub-district in Bungoma. They were very sweet and wonderful ladies. One of the widow's husband had only died 2 months ago. It really made things real, when you meet people who have experienced things that we only dream of in Canada. I mean disease isn't as much of a killer as it is here in Kenya. Jon and I were able to give them each a blanket and a package of sugar. God put it on our hearts to give some money as well. We gave them 1000 KSh (about $16.50 canadian dollars) and you would've thought that we gave them gold by the way they reacted. They all cheered so loud and later the pastor explained to us that no one has ever even given them 100 KSh and now you have given them so much. They will be able to feed their families for 3 weeks off of that, which is amazing. It was very humbling for us.
