We recently celebrated our founders birthday by collecting small pots and the ingredients to make porridge. Porridge is a comfort food that many of our clients from African areas are familiar with, love and sometimes miss. While we in America might feel like it isn’t exactly a great meal nor could it be tasty… we have learned that it actually has a lot of “good for you” ingredients that tastes pretty yummy too! It has protein, calcium and other vitamins from the African White Bean Flour, other flours, white corn meal and Nido an instant nutritious milk that Mom’s like to give children. On November 30, our Next Gen Education Group came together to serve, help mix and bag the dry ingredients for the porridge. Jamie enjoyed balloons, cupcakes, cake, flowers and plant gifts, grape juice, sweet encouraging notes from volunteers and each classes Happy Birthday songs. We then delivered the porridge and gave out lots of hugs, smiles and encouragement to our friends. It was a sweet birthday day!! Jamie wants to thank all who helped to make her birthday such a special and memorable day. What a wonderful Asha’s Refuge Family we have. Together we can sure bring joy to many.
