In late May I went to speak to the Mayor of my municipality to see if he could help me with a project I'm doing. He was very interested in what we are doing in our village and came to see our center a couple weeks later. He said that he is really glad to start a relationship with our organization and fully supports the work we do. This month he showed up with a group of people from the municipality and a representative from the local mine who was the donor of the 150 blankets they had delivered that day for our children. We made a small event out of it and distributed blankets to the children who were there that day. We continue our door to door search for orphans and vulnerable children and are so happy to hand them a warm blanket for these cold winter months.
Niko is one if two male volunteers. He is helping to stack the 150 donated blankets.
This is the Mayor, his people and a rep from the donating company.
This was a moment of singing and celebration for what we were receiving. These women are all volunteers at Aletuke.
The Mayor is the man on the right in black. He's a really great guy.
David, Aletuke's project manager and my supervisor, is like a pig in shit. It's moments like these that he lives for. This is what his work is all about... providing for the children of his community
Nothing warms your heart more than seeing the smiles on these children's faces.
I love my job...
