OUR HARVEST

 My colleague and I have been sowing seeds and reaping a harvest that is helping our growing community of mentees, proteges and others.  We have been investing our time and energy and the amazing thing is that we both speak the same language that comes with only a few words that translates into doing our part to make a difference for someone else.

Our chain of mentees-proteges started with an act of kindness. In 2019, on a visit to Tanzania, I met a young man, who was working in a shop in the lodge where our group of travelers stayed. I was drawn to the afrocentric goods made by the Masai tribe people and asked him for a big favor to purchase a variety of merchandise from the market and send it to me in the USA. He did! And a seed was sown.

Two years later, my colleague traveled to Tanzania and I took the opportunity to introduce the first sown seed. Along came a couple who drove him to the Lodge; a bond was formed and more seeds sown. My colleague, in engagement with the couple met their offspring, who was about to enter her first year of college. Through conversations she learned of her needs and stepped in to provide much resources, to make the student's life easier to navigate.

My colleague continued on her journey to Zanzibar, on her missionary trip and met another seeker of hope. Again, she sprung into action, contributing to his desire to open a Pharmacy, with a mission to help those who don't always have the means to buy medicine. Another seed has been sown.

Together through perseverance and bravery, we continue to sow seeds. We have happily found our purpose. As long as we exist, we will continue to sow the seeds of kindness. We are supporting and encouraging our mentees-proteges and hopefully, showing them how we are suppose to take care of each other.

Sweet colleague, thanks for joining me in sowing seeds.  We are surely seeing the benefits of sowing the seeds of service. We are making progress in the work that matters to us. This is great accomplishment and we thank our supporters as we strive for a bigger harvest to come.  We will keep reminding ourselves that we will get through each project, one at a time. Thanks for your stewardship, sweet colleague, together we know that the Divine One will use us in the best way to help others live a better life. I hope they will

travel the road to prosperity and self-sufficiency and make a tangible difference in their communities.

May they all BLOSSOM!
