Monday through Friday Amazima feeds lunch to 1,200+ children from Masese. Imagine cooking a healthy lunch for 1,200 hungry children every day. It is quite a daunting task! Our Amazima cooks, Sarah, James, and Joel serve every day with smiles on their faces! We're so grateful for them!
You might expect chaos with that many children coming to be fed, but they are so well behaved! They stand in a long line waiting to be served and are always full of gratitude.
The feeding of these children takes place in partnership with a local school. We've worked out an arrangement with the school to allow these children to attend classes for free. Additionally, each child is sent home with a plate of food to share with siblings or family members.
It can be overwhelming (at times) knowing that so many children rely on us for food every single day, 5 days a week, 52 weeks a year. But we love to see the joy in their faces as they receive food for their bodies and food for their spiritual hearts. God is always faithful.
WOW! Thank you Sarah, James, and Joel for serving so selflessly! I am amazed. 1,600 hungry people to feed... what a task!
