This week we are preparing for Christmas and the mood of children is very high, Maria was giving out clothes from our warehouse, Christmas trees are up in the two residents and the Christmas lights. We have more children this week because a good of those that went to visit relatives have come back. The last group is expected to come today because we told them they need to be before Christmas day so that they can have Christmas Party together
As we were preparing for Christmas, Bobsi one of the small boys ,came to me in a more sorrowful manner and I thought something bad had happened ,because he is a good sympathizer, but this time nothing to do with anyone here.
The first words from his mouth were ‘how is Uncle Sam?’ I said he is okay and asked him, why he was asking about Uncle Sam, he said in a sympathetic tone, I feel sorry for him. I said why? He narrated how Uncle Sam use to enjoy the meals especially nshima with chicken on Sundays and now that we are going to have chicken with rice, in his little mind, I sensed him thinking, if Uncle Sam can enjoyed meals at chishawasha then he is suffering wherever he is. This child believe that there is no better place than chishawasha. I realize it is because of what he had gone through.
We have a new mother in place of Alice who died two weeks ago. She’s good and a tenderhearted. Her name is Rose Mungoma aged 51yrs. To the children, this is like a Christmas gift
