From
a worker in KS:
I am so happy to report that all of the farmers', carpenters' and mechanics'
livelihood kits have been delivered, as well as all of
the equipment for the fishermans' livelihood kits and
we will check on the progress of the small boats which
are being constructed by the local fishermen at KS.
On the day of distribution many of the farmers and their wives and
families gathered under a tent that Pak Y had cleared
for us, in the middle of the tent he had prepared 2 sets of each of
the kits for each village that was to receiver distribution, he then
called up 2 representatives from each village to formally receive the
kits on behalf of all of the 1022 farmers and 74 mechanics from their
respective villages, there were big broad smiles lit up the faces of
these men and there were tears of joy from their wives. Pak Y
thanked Concern for Kids, he said “many
organizations have made many big promises but today is
the first day that each family have received something definite in their
hands which will give them back their livelihoods, today you have given
men back their dignity” he went on to say “for many
months I have been asking not just to give us fish but to give
us a fishing rod, with these kits I am no longer afraid
for the people of KS, because if the rice distribution stops they will
now be able to feed their families themselves”.
Pak Y then asked me to say a few words so I was able to explain to
the people “that we feel blessed to be able to deliver all of
these kits to the people, however they are not actually from us, you
see we are just like a big funnel and all of these kits were given to
us so that we could give them to you and while many people had contributed
to making the delivery of kits possible ultimately all thanks must go
to God as every thing we receive is from God”, this was greeted
with wholehearted agreement from the people, they all smiled and nodded,
so I know they understood what I was saying.
Thank you so much to every one who contributed to this wonderful effort.
