Bag Of Rice Project #559 the Edet Family, thanks to TERRY SIMMONS for donating this 110 lb. bag of rice. We met the Edet family in Mbiaobong Itam a village located in the southern part of Nigeria. The family was introduced to us by a friend. We drove into the compound and it was as if no one was around, we knocked, and a woman came out, she gave us a receptive welcome and offered us water to drink which we politely declined. We told her what brought us to her house and when she heard it she was surprised, she confessed that she couldn’t remember the last time she took rice because it had been so expensive lately. The family is blessed with 7 kids and they are all out of school because there is no money to train them. The family live in a mud house which is on the verge of collapsing, anytime rain falls the roof of the house is always leaking and they have to stand until the rain stops. They don’t have good water to drink and they don’t have electricity in the house, they have been living in darkness since they started staying in the house. The Edet family cooks at the back of their house and firewood serves as their fuel, they are unable to afford cooking gas because it is expensive, and using firewood to cook is harmful to their health. Mrs. Edet is a widow and she does farming for a living, she does that to fend for the family, when we visited the children went to the stream to fetch water. The family were excited as we gave them the bag of rice, they prayed for the donor and aid God will bless the work of their hand and increase them on every side. The family continued praying as we left, they waved at us and beamed a smile.
