The FH Day: Arriving in Takwe

In all fairness, I haven't written about the FH day because it had such a huge impact on me that it taking a long time to process... and will probably take a few entries to talk about. Takwe was the community that my church originally had a C2C relationship with, and we've continued to sponsor children there- despite the fact that the relationship through FHUS fell apart.

On the way up to FH, we stopped at an FH office to say hello to everyone and pick up a new Hunger Core, Karen Jacobsen, to go with us. We got to meet people involved with Azizi Life (an arm of FH that is empowering local women by teaching them how to transfer existing skills to make purses, jewelry, shoes, and other incredible things. (Let's just say, I bought a lot). :)

Then we went on up to Tawke... an extremely bumpy and rough drive- but a lot of fun. When we pulled up, it was amazing. They had all of the children sitting in an L shape and singing.
