One of the villages visited
was Mutabeen, located in Dar’aa in the South of Syria. We were taken
to this village by a local nun, Sister Bridget, who was able to help
distribute the food among the many poor families. We bought ten food
packets and were able to divide this among fifteen families. Pictures
were taken to show the community the work we were doing. These pictures
were displayed in order to motivate people to donate to our Food Drive.
This was quite successful, since we could now visualize the hardship
faced by many. The people were also very poorly dressed, and we decided
to collect clothes after the food drive so we could help these people.
We collected shoes that were recently brought to the village by Sr.
Bridget.
Return
to Mutabeen
After
visiting Mutabeen we started collecting clothes and shoes to give
to needy people in the village. After we had collected a significant
amount we gave these to Sr. Bridget who then brought it to the village.
We are still collecting clothes to support this village and others.
