Multipurpose Bowls 2023

Older woman dressed in traditional clothing holds her new bowl and has an expression of deep gratitude

Yes, you've seen these in the past because multipurpose bowls are considered essentials for all families in Dekpor!  We went a full two years without running a targeted campaign, so it was high time in December 2022 to do it again.  Linda and Abraham were being asked by villagers if there would be a distribution any time soon.

 

From collecting crops and firewood, to being used for cooking, laundry, bathing and fetching water, the uses are many!

 

We raised a wonderful  $8000 in December and in making a bulk purchase in February, were able to get 440 bowls to distribute! It took two trotros to transport them all to Dekpor! Just take a look at the album to see all the happy recipients!

 

A warm thank you to the following who made this possible:

 

Ines Howe (in honour of Anthony and Christophe), Edi Schmickl, Jonathan Mayer, Ann and Tony Macoun (for Phil), Robert Longe, Avondale Alternative's Grade 5/6 class and parents in honour of Teresa Cline, Jean Bondi (as a tribute to Mark, Chris, and Grandma and Grandpa), Sandra Hartman, Mary Beth Kelly (for Elizabeth), Kim Nelson (in honour of Mom and Auntie Ev), Janice Young, Quality Integrators Corporation, Bill Croker, Richie Lawrence (in honour of Alan Lawrence), Jason Kaptyn (in honour of Amanda and Jon), and Stan Hallman Chong.
