Rice – the Building block of Life
PK4A
Rev Themi has asked for Rice.
About a month or so ago, Fr Themi was asking if we could get him some rice to give out to the poor that have been afflicted by EBOLA. He explained that rice has risen some 200% in price and was scarce.
One of his supporters (Harry from Sydney) has sourced, through his contacts “Rice from Vietnam”costing $10 for a 10kg bag, landed and cleared into Freetown.
One bag of 10 kg could help feed a family for up to one month!
Paradise 4 Kids has ordered 5 x 20 ft Containers, that’s approximately 100,000 kilos of rice (10,000 blocks), delivered and cleared into Freetown at a cost of $50,000 USD.
Half of each container will be given to the President for EBOLA stricken Districts under quarantine and the other half used in Fr Themis mission to the poor.
As we in the Western World, approach Christmas and enter into the New Year, Fr Themi asks us to think of the poor and consider buying a bag or two (or more) of rice.
