Mungwe sitting with Bibi Yohanna at her houseMama Yohana is a widow aged more than 120 years. Her husband died more than 40 years ago. Raising her three sons and three daughters was laid entirely on her. Now that they are old as well, they cannot take care of their mom as expected, simply because they can not afford it. So Bibi is on her own still struggling with the day to day life with little help from grandchildren or her own children.

PEN.TRUST first assisted her with boxes of food from Feed My Starving Children, medication and some clothing. The last time we sent her food packages she was very happy and thankful. She told Mungwe that she is on her last days before she goes. We pray we return to find Mama Yohana still in good health.

On behalf of Mama Yohana and the entire population we supplied food to; we thank all the FMSC team for their noble work and contribution towards serving the hungry.
