“I bless the rains down in Africa…” – lyrics from the very popular song, “Africa” by Toto, is the first thing that comes to mind as we express our gratitude today.
This rainy season in Zambia continues to bring abundant rainfall, and with it, a beautiful reminder of hope and provision. Our maize fields have been flourishing, so much so that our field workers had to begin harvesting earlier than usual this year. The continuous rains made it necessary to start sooner to protect the crops from being damaged. The harvested maize is currently being stored in a thatched shelter.
Our field workers have also been blessed with new uniforms and safety boots. They work long hours in the fields, often facing harsh weather conditions, snakes, and the risks that come with handling sharp tools.
Thanks to your generous support, our field workers not only have this protective gear, but they can continue their vital work with greater safety, confidence, and dignity.
We are deeply grateful for your generosity and for standing alongside us in caring for those who work tirelessly in our fields.
Thank you for being a part of the hope that grows in our fields every day.
In gratitude and hope for your support,
Stephen Turner
