Our Lichinga Village of Joy is home to a group of nine girls who live with our local pastor and his family. As each day goes by we pray our girls would live to honor God and bring transformation to the world around them, even amidst the pressures of society and ungodly values that surround them each day at school. We have spent a lot of time on our farm during the holidays, planting corn and caring for it. When harvest time comes we all sit on a grass mat and spend hours plucking the kernels from the cobs and spreading it out to dry in the sun. Then we put the kernels in sacks and send it to the mill where it is ground into a coarse flour we call "Shima." Shima flour is made into a consistency similar to mashed potatoes, which we eat every day with fish or vegetables cooked in a sauce. It's delicious! Thank you so much for supporting our sweet girls! We are grateful to provide them with a small family environment to be cared for in.
