Product Description
At home Violety’s duties include sweeping the floors, washing dishes and fetching water. Singing songs and dancing with her friends are some of Violety’s favorite activities.
Daily life for Violety and her friends is very difficult. The majority of her friends from the village are not able to afford to go to public school and survive on a single small meal per day – primarily made of nshima – a staple that is made of ground white corn flour boiled in water. By being in school Violety is not only having her mind “fed”, but she is benefiting from a nutritious meal each day he is in school. The majority of these children live with a single parent or relative. Others have been forced to live with whomever will take them in, and being forced to the streets by the age of 6 is not uncommon.
Violety and her friends not only have physical poverty but they a poverty that can’t be seen. They have lost hope and do not believe that their life matters or that they matter. This is why African Vision of Hope is different.
African Vision of Hope takes the message of John 21 and puts it into action.
