Joseph's Story - Building Benches for Social Distancing

When the government tells you to observe social distancing and you live in a remote village in Mozambique, how can you help your community to apply the rules? 16-year-old Joseph* took it upon himself to try and find a solution to helping protect the children who attend the Care Point in Chigadole, Mozambique.

Each day children go there in small groups to receive what is often their only meal that day.

He arrived at the Care Point early and used the materials he could find to create small benches, metres apart, so that the other children could sit down at a safe distance whilst eating their meal.

Joseph is known for being creative and willing to serve in any way that he can, to support the Care Workers who have made the Care Point a place where he feels valued and appreciated.

Join us in continuing to pray for the most vulnerable families and for children, like Joseph, who responsibly and creatively take action in caring for their communities.
