Dear Brother John,
A volunteer group came to our little mountainous village last month. We used to have a
tedious and quiet life until they came. When they appeared at the end of the path
leading to the village, we heard their loud songs and their merry laughter. The village
children ran after them and formed a big procession. On the first day, they had a talk
with the head of the village in the morning, and later on with the villagers in the evening.
They bought a variety of things with them such as clothes, foods and school things.
During the day they stayed in the village, they did a lot of different and helpful things for
us. They repaired the furniture in our village school and build huts for the homeless
elderly people. They dug a few new wells so that we could get more fresh water,
distributed exercise books and pencils to the school children, organized entertaining
programs in the evening to teach the village children songs and games. They also talked
with us about sanitations and many other things.
Life in our village became newer, noisier and more exciting. Everyone-old and young-
had a good time. I found it a big fun looking at them moving among crowds of children,
and even curious adults. By the way, it will be our grandpa’s death anniversary soon.
Dad suggests you bring your children with you when you both come back. Send my
regards to sister Tim and your family.
