Up at 5am to celebrate and help this widow lady start her new business! This widowed mama has been without means to provide for her 2 boys for the last year. She has now been selling mugs of tea, chapati and beans to workers around the neighborhood for about 2 weeks. The struggles aren’t over. The pain and loss isn’t any less, but for this lady there will be fewer nights of going to bed hungry, fewer headaches wondering where the $10 month’s rent will come from.
Yes, on this morning, a smile was born! And now, every time I pass her on the trail carrying her bucket of mugs and thermos of tea, I smile too!
