The local folks have been having such a rough time with a massive shortage of food. This not because they are lazy. A year ago almost to date they were planting and getting fields ready and were set to plant when the rain was to come end of October, but it never came until the 18th December. Then it rained so much that most fields were in standing water. It continued to rain almost non stop until about 7th or 10th of January. Their crops produced very little.
For the past 6 weeks many have been surviving on green mangos dried and then pounded into a meal that is then cooked to as sudza (maize meal). While I was in SA waiting on export documents I took the opportunity to share about the hunger situation. You folks are just the best! Your generosity and faithfulness has made it possible to get some food out to some folks who are really hurting. Thanks for your contributions to AIM Cape Town MOZAMBIQUE EMERGENCY PROJECT
