Taking care of the bereaved family

Last year, we received the unfortunate news that a child from the surrounding community fell into YCVM's construction well on the boarding school site. The child was not one of YCVM's sponsored children. Nevertheless, the YCVM board wanted to help the bereaved family, and rebuilt the child's mother's house (see earlier blog post). To help further, YCVM recently improved the beddings for the bereaved family members.







On the left, you see the former bedding, which is a common papyrus mat on the dirt floor of the hut. Following that, you can see the mattress that YCVM provided - a luxury in the villages. Lastly, you can see YCVM director Silver Omakenyi delivering the gifts to the family.
I thank God for the work that YCVM continues to do in the Kumi community.
