We Malaysian extend our help again!

As most of you know, the last day of my donation is on 11th Jan and I'm broke (out of cash) after buying the goods to the children and the school yesterday. My wallet only left less than ~RM 40 equivalent and have to wait for my colleague who is coming on Wednesday to bring me some cash. Getting money out from Malaysia bank is a challenge in Senegal, Africa and there is no such thing as credit card here. I was touched by the heart and persistent fire from my malaysian friends who wish to extend their help the children in the village....the money keeps going in but no way for me to extract it out here. Well finally I called up a friend who is working in Malaysia Embassy and without any hesitation he is willing to borrow me some local currency and will transfer to him later via malaysia local bank.....really appreciate his help very much. Well with the local money I have......let's go for round 2 :-) We donated 25 bags x 50kg = 1250kg today!! Wow great work my fellow friend. With deep appreciation I would like to say thank you on their behalf for your kind heart and generous contribution. I spoke to the English teacher and asked her whether the rice for yesterday is enough for everybody and she said yes...you see how contented they are? Each of the children get 4kg to bring back for their whole family yesterday! Well I tell her, we are going to give you more......and she gave me a great smile. I also understand from her that the village held a praying session yesterday evening to those who help and contribute for this mission.

Well nothing is smooth today and somehow the route from the shop to the school was blocked. I have to walk to the shop and back to the school and only transportation left for the rice is horse. Again 1 Horse Power x 2 trips which cost around RM 16. On your right, you can see the boys help to carry the rice as well.....one bag of rice is 50kg!!

Walk around the school and I went to see the kindergarden class....the boy looks so cute and innocent. Actually they are resting on the table....sorry to disturb you all yeah.

rice in pale thank you rice

The rice is ready to be distributed. As you can see, the size of the rice is very small + tiny and if in Malaysia, no one will buy it I think. They are very contented and extremely happy to be able to eat rice which is their national food.
