Thank you to our donors, cheerleaders, volunteers, and staff. This year, we’ve updated kitchens at 3 schools thanks to a grant from Charlotte Women's Club. This week, they’re working on Ilkurot!
Students at Olbaki sing a song of gratitude!!
Lyrics below, translated by our dear Ernest Philemon
1. WE ARE GRATEFUL TO OUR FRIENDS FOR SEEING IT NECESSARY FOR US TO GET NUTRIENTS. A CLEAN PORRIDGE IS BEING PREPARED ON A MODERN COOKER. WE GET OUR STUDIES WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM.
*CHORUS*
OUR BELOVED FRIENDS, MAY GOD GRANT YOU LIVES WITH GOOD HEALTH SO THAT YOU CAN CONTINUE TO HELP US. MAY YOUR POCKETS BE FULL AND MAY GOD FILL YOUR POCKETS WHERE YOU HAVE USED IT FOR US.
2. MAY GOD GRANT YOU A GREAT HEART. CONTINUE WITH YOUR LOVE, WE HAVE NOTHING TO PAY YOU BACK. WE, THE OLBAK PUPILS KEEP ON BEING HEALTHY WITH GOOD PERFOMANCE IN THE CLASS.
*CHORUS*
3. WE GET NUTRIENTS THROUGH CLEAN AND SWEET PORRIDGE, WE HAVE NO DOUBT WHILE IN CLASSES. OUR PARENTS ARE GRATEFUL WHEN WE GET BACK HOME BECAUSE THEY SEE OUR FACES ARE BRIGHT.
*CHORUS*
