Because of the lack of tourism during the pandemic, many people in the community are suffering financially. Many have lost their water and electricity connections due to unpaid bills. Strong Roots will continue their effort to provide meals to their community. In addition, they also provide a feeding program to children who are identified by their teachers as most at risk for malnourishment.
Strong Roots was overjoyed to be able to once again provide Christmas hampers to needy families in the community. In fact, 380 families received hampers!
One family said that before they received the hamper they were going to celebrate Christmas with just two cans of sardines. They left Strong Roots carrying a full bag of food, along with clothes and toys for the kids.
It was pouring rain when they arrived. “I’m sorry that it is raining,” Joven said. “I’m happy that it is,” the mom admitted, “so that people cannot see me cry.” She had tears of joy coming from a grateful heart for the gifts they received. May God rain his blessings on his people!
