We Fed 100 Families in Uganda With $2,000

This is our Christmas giving project come to life. Watch this video with us. So this past December we wanted to do something special for others and together with you we raised two thousand dollars which is enough to give food baskets to 100 families in Uganda, East Africa. How amazing! We want to say thank you to everyone who saw our post, shared it, commented and an extra special thank you to those who gave. So we were able to give the money that we raised to our team in Uganda which are Zach, Deo and Grace and what they did is they told us kind of what are the food staples that families could enjoy. So they were able to buy flour, rice, sugar, salt, bars of soap and cooking oil. We were able to distribute this food to over 100 families in two rural communities on the outskirts of the capital of Kampala. So these are rural areas where you know jobs are scarce and it's harder for families to provide for themselves so it required a lot of work. As you can see there was a lot of people involved in this so Zach, Deo and Grace actually managed, actually rallied a team of volunteers around them. They had a driver, they had a community guide who helped mobilize the seniors and the needy families and gather them together. They had people helping with the shopping. It's so cool to see how many people were involved with this and we're really thankful for their help. So when the distribution was happening Zach excitingly texted us and he said many of the recipients praised lots of blessings to everyone who had a hand in giving this gift and that includes you. He said there were many chanting praises and how these were going to be special meals. There was even one person who texted and said that told Zach come next year and they will still be eating the same beans because they planned on eating some right away and then actually planting some and getting plants out of this. So how amazing that this meal is actually going to keep on giving. We're just so thankful that you were a part of this and that we were able to touch lives half a world away from what we have here in Canada and wherever you live. We were able to touch lives on the other side of the planet and that's a really cool feeling. So we want to encourage you like if you're family and friends whatever act of generosity this is what this is an act of generosity that you can do with people that might be around you we encourage you to do so. Yeah every act of kindness matters whether it's in your your own town your own city these are the kinds of things that make the world go round and so we hope that this just encourages you to to try something and thank you for being a part of this.
