The harvesting of the peanuts has begun! To you and I these look like peanuts, a snack, nothing too exciting. But for the Kpeletayama village children and women (especially the pregnant women) it means they will now have a sustainable source of protein. This is so exciting, and just adding these peanuts to their diet can make the difference between babies being born with neurological defects (ex: cerebral palsy) and mothers bleeding to death after delivering a child (as proper nutrition is essential in clotting of blood), along with having a major effect on the development of the toddlers brains, especially the first couple of critical years. To all who contributed to this project, I want to say THANK YOU!! Who would have thought something so small, could mean something so big!
The women out harvesting the peanuts.
They are holding hope in their hands. Hope for better health of their children, hope for generating an income.
