It’s always fun to give out new clothes to the children in our care, it doesn’t matter which location. Recently (see June 6 blog) we had the privilege of distributing clothes in Malawi. I am always amazed to see self-confidence and pride well up in a child who has received a new outfit! It always touches my heart. We all felt badly because we didn’t have shoes or underwear to give to the children. Amazingly, one girl who looked adorable in her new dress has never owned a pair of shoes! A boy had one sock remaining from a pair we gave him a few months ago. Since he has no shoes he wears the single sock. Some were wearing shoes that were too small so their toes protruded or their shoes were worn well past the ‘expiration date’!! Even so, the children were happy with what little we were able to provide. We are praying that on our next visit we will have shoes and underwear to share with the children.
