Update - Photos from Unyama




Photos from the recent distribution of donated items to Unyama IDP camp.

Thank you to those who donated items! As noted below, plans are underway to start a community based organization, of the same name, "Manna: Seeds of Hope" so that funds can be directly sent to the CBO for those living in the camps. I hope that you will consider contributing money for this effort.

A CBO differs from an NGO in that while NGOs get their direction, policies and program guidance from headquarters in developed countries, CBOs are based in local communities and decisions, programming and funds are distributed according the community leaders who make up the organization. I believe that these organizations help to empower local communities and the people who are a part of them.

More updates to come.
