Oh!,
what joy to return to friends that we hadn't seen
for 6 months. This trip was to follow up the work,
that we were doing in the villages last year. I took
a team of 8 people along with me, who had an
interest in helping.
We
visited 5 towns and villages, in Hungary, and
briefly crossed the borders over into Romania. We
hired a minivan, and started our journey in
Budapest, driving NE, to Bag. We had arranged for
another Summer Festival Day, like we did last year.
This occasion brings the village people together, to
share and enjoy, music, and dance. No strangers ever
enter this part of the village, because of the
poverty. Mudbrick,two room homes, have no
running water inside, or toilets, or roads. The
children looked healthy this time, as they were
enjoying the Summer sun. Winter tells another story.
Next it
was up to Dani and Kati s in Nyirbeltek, where we
continue to support the work, this amazing couple
are doing. Kati has learnt to drive, and passed her
driving test. Dani works hard in teaching the
children music, and he works hard maintaining the
two buildings. Dani and Kati still continue to feed
the children every Saturday, to supplement their
diet.
Again
the villagers unity day, was excellent. Wonderful
sunshine, and scrumptious food. We took the Dani and
Kati shopping to get food supplies in, and also left
money to buy the Winter wood, for the wood burning
fires. Also the roof needed badly renovating before
Winter sets in, so we left the finance to pay for
that.
Four of
the villages are united together, in solidarity, to
help each other, and bring education, and community
projects together, with Dani and Kati, leading the
projects.
Ther
children are alll benefiting from this work, and we
are so privileged to see it come to its fruition.
Next
it's back North West to Eged, Hadjugamora, and
Haddjunanas, What we planted, and set up last year
in these towns, has really taken off. All villages
were so happy to see us return, as we bought in
supplies of clothes, food, and love, lots of it, as
my team members gave it out lavishly. There is no
end in watching this work progress, because its all
about peoples lives, and how we can make a
difference.
Caring,
Sharing, and Giving, is what its all about, and
that's what they give us , that's why we will
continue to go, until the work is finished,....and
that it will never be............
Practically, we gave clothes, toiletries, musical
instruments, educational supplies, vitamins, and
medicines.
We have
united villages, and towns with our music, and dance
days.
Plans
have been made for the next stage of the work on the
new house
New
people from the UK, were introduced to the
villagers, and received with love
We are
arranging for some of the Hungarians to come and
visit us next year.
Another
successful trip.
