More Home Care Kits


James was able to give another home care kit to a woman who lives down at the salt mines. She's Congolese and is blind. She and her husband came here a few years ago to live and work because of what was happening in their home country. She speaks little Bemba, so everything James said had to be translated from English, to Bemba, to Swahili! Try explaining how to use a thermometer to take your temperature going through all those languages! James said it was very interesting. They are really suffering and it is such a blessing to get to share these things with her!

This is their house, only for a few months each year, because they can't stay here when the rains come. The river bank floods, so they go to the nearby village to live and find work until they can go back to mining salt.
