“Pictured are some of the ration bags we (my family) are going to distribute to some of the affected. A package contains 10kg floor, lentils, sugar, tea, salt, cooking oil, soap, detergent, etc. We thought it might help them survive for a few days.” ~ Obaid

I believe these “fellowship” meetings have been valuable. They are informal opportunities to get acquainted with our members. If it fits your schedule, I look forward to “seeing” you at the meetings.
