DONATIONS FROM AMERICA








Several weeks ago, I was asked to help distribute clothing, toys, school supplies and non-perishable food items to the families living in Laita, a small village near our compound. Because of the generosity of Superior Industries of Morris, MN, our conveyor belt manufacturers, we were able to distribute 28 huge boxes filled with donations to the area.

This was only 1/3 of the generous goods that Superior had packed into each container they delivered to Salt Investment. In all we were able to make three separate donations. The first were bikes and school supplies to our nearest school in Karta, a small village about 20 minutes from our compound.

The second set of donations, clothing, more bikes, and toys went to the little village directly across from our compound. THANK YOU SUPERIOR FOR YOUR GENEROUS SPIRIT.

The pictures show one of the three vehicles we used to transport the donations, the beautiful small children of Karta, and our Salt Investment employees with the chief elder from the area. As a special thank you, the chief elder gave me a very special gift, a baby goat, which I sadly petted knowing that our cook would roast him for us all to share. He was a tasty little thing and I was very suprised that there was quite a bit of very tender meat provided by that tiny goat.
