I was
totally surprised when several parents of children at Kay Timoun came to visit,
each bringing something from their garden.
One parent brought a huge yellowish green melon that tastes like
honeydew melon. It was so sweet and
delicious! Two parents brought
watermelons that grow in their yards.
Another brought enough mangos for everybody in the house. Another brought bananas. What is so touching about this is that these
parents are the poorest poor. They came
with their gifts as a way of showing their gratitude. One mother kissed me over and over again,
first one cheek, then the other. She is
probably the poorest of the group, living in a squatters area in a stick house.
Children at Kay Timoun enjoy a home grown watermelon for lunch.
