Showing off some harvested red chillies 

Normally I dry and crush them into powder and each time depending on the meal, I sprinkle some moderate to the food to spice it up and the taste is always enjoyable and pleasurable. 

Living simple and within your means generates total peace and wisdom.

Our other crops on the farm like okra and eggplants 🍆 are doing so well. 

Am happy  the orphans have deeper reasons to smile as they feast on these vegetables. 

Attached are some images of red chillies and bamiya plants thriving on our property.

Incase you need to know more about the Child sponsorship program, send us a note on email  kasesehumanistschool@hotmail.com

Chose any of the above children or child and we shall avail more information. 

Sponsorship goes beyond providing for an orphan’s needs, it speaks to the heart of a child and tells them they are valuable, precious and loved. It gives them a sense of belonging and acceptance.

For an orphan who has experienced loss, abandonment, rejection and trauma, knowing there is someone out there who cares and wants to see them thrive is life-changing.
