Godfrey and Angel

After the 4 1/2 hour! church service last Sunday, we took the 30 minute drive back to Ho and then went to visit some of the families who have kids in school on CIH scholarships.  The schools we work with only cost $50-$100 per year and some still cannot afford this.  This is a picture of Godfrey and Angel, two scholarship recipients with their sister.  In the background, you see the shacks where they live.  Their family is what they call squaters- they have no land or home just permission from the person who owns this land to have a shack on it. 

Here are their parents, and as you can see one more child with another on the way!  Kelvin tried to talk to the father, Glover, about contraception a year ago.  Apparently, it didn't do any good!  Glover smashes old concrete blocks and sells the powder to contractors for mortar.   He also grows corn and other vegetables on the land as well.  He is obviously a hard worker despite everything.
