Love And Laughter :)

In a small corner,

In a small community,

On the other side of the world,

Everyday around two pm we meet.

Some walk from far away,

Some live in the community,

others leave small jobs to come and meet with us.

We all come for the same reason,

love and hope.

And Crocheting hats :)

Dirt under our feet,

Sitting on wooden benches.

With our yarn in our laps.

We sit, laugh, and learn from each other.

Over the last week

I have really  fallen in love with these women.

Their eyes.

Their smiles.

Their love.

And the fact that we get together

Everyday for three hours and I get to teach them

Something I just learned myself.

It’s a beautiful thing here.

This is Janet, she is in her late thirties and has five kids.

She is married and she has the only husband  in the community.

There is so much beauty and commitment in her.

Everyday she shows up on time.

For Africa and this community, that’s impressive.

She is on her second yarn

and is now making a beautiful neon yellow hat.

She might just become the leader once we head home.

She always has her youngest one on her back.

Goodness God really put his hand print on this country.

And made it beautiful.

Here is her youngest one sitting with mammy

while she crochets.

Watching these women sit and chat

and laugh together just makes my heart sing.

 Last week we started teaching the community we are working with 

how to crochet hats. 

We are hoping to sell them in the States

 and use the profit to help this community 

save up enough to get a sewing machine

 and hopefully God willing a small shop 

that would provide enough work for these women

 to feed their families. 

My single moms ministry is growing!!!
