commitment

these are the people of Megaladi






the village of Megaladi (muh-gah-la-ah-dee) made a
commitment
to begin the journey of transforming their community into one of
 independence and sustainability. 

and Global Hope has made a
commitment
to motivate, empower, and teach the people of Megaladi
as they begin the process of
Transformational Community Development (TCD)
which will equip them with the knowledge to use their
local resources and assets to obtain:

enough water for drinking, cooking and cleaning
enough food to eliminate chronic hunger
core wellness and health
increased income
and education for the children.



we got to shake hands with the people of the village.
we learned about their families.
we showed them pictures of our families.
we took pictures of the children.
we held hands and walked with the children.
we played.
we connected.
they are such colorful people.
and not just their clothes.
they are animated.
 full of laughter and smiles.
welcoming and trusting.
inquisitive.
eager.
receptive.
loving.
and i am loving them.




we will be visiting Megaladi
again this week.
i cannot wait to see them again.
