This morning 14 of us piled into one van – a bit cozy but the energy was upbeat and we were ready to go meet the group of women sponsored by the Women for Women program. After a two hour drive we arrived at their training center.
One by one we got out of the van and were greeted by the women. They were excited about our visit and welcomed us warmly. Peace, our guide from WFW, who traveled with us today, introduced us. I was so proud to have the Esther Home girls, who were wearing their light yellow Esther Home t-shirts, and my sweet daughter with me. My heart was full!
My sponsor sister stepped out from the hut and directly into my arms. It was good to see her once again. Unlike our last visit she wasn’t as shy and showed such eagerness in greeting me.
Because the sun was so intense they lead us into a large hut that they use for training. Today was banking day where a small amount of funds were being distributed to the women. There were three groups there training - a total of 80 women. I introduced the Esther Girls and explained the program - the women clapped and whispered among themselves. Then I introduced Nicole – that brought them to their feet, their smiles widened and they muttered something in their language. They loved the fact that we were mother and daughter.
