I At around 4pm weekdays, the cooks gather around 150-200 kids in a that have been milling around the area. They sing: We Are Family, Jesus Loves the Little Children & a few other in Pidgin. Then they recite the Our Father & the cooks start passing out bowls from a huge pot cooked over a wood fire. Rice or noodles with a touch of meat & vege. We're told the kids are orphans, homeless or just dirt poor. This feeding program started about 15 years ago...the school a few years later. Tembari means Traveler/Temporary...so many that live around here & PM are just that. Though we haven't seen it or felt it--somewhere or sometime in Hayward & Penny's heart there must be a caring & kind spot. We know there are many who sponsor Tembari...one reason we decided to come...and don't have any idea how much the donation amount to. Many have told us they get far more than they spend on food & the school. The need is obvious. Kids are hungry. So we decided to purchase some food. Hayward gave us a hefty list...we chose to purchase the canned meat. Jr went & got the best deal he could & delivered it to Tembari. (No thanks given to him or us from Hayward...that's another story). It was the right thing to do for the kids & sure made the cooks' day!
