Bag of Rice Project #478 -A visit to the Sunday family

Learn how you can be apart of helping people who are in need with our A Thrifty Mom Bag of Rice Campaign. In 2016 we started helping a young man named Ikechukwu from Nigeria. Summer of 2019 we were able to visit his family in Aba, Nigeria. While there we saw widespread poverty and lack of basic needs. We would like to invite you to help meet one of those basic needs, by providing Nigerian families with rice. This gift will feed a large family for a few months, or a single person a year. It also reminds them they are loved, and brings most of them to tears… as a full bag of rice is one of the most generous gifts they will ever receive. You can also read about other families we have been able to bless here.

The following story is about the Sunday family. Their bag of rice was donated thanks to The Watkins Family, and this is the 478th bag of rice our program has been able to give away thanks to generous donations.

We met this wonderful family in Eket, a village in Akwa Ibom State. The Sundays welcomed us warmly. They live in an unfinished one-bedroom house with limited utilities. The house is unfinished, and Sundays only make use of one room in it. The Sundays have three lovely kids. They thought we were sent from politicians as there will be a big election coming up, but they were extremely surprised that we were giving them a bag of rice with no strings attached.

Mr Sunday and his wife are students at the university in Uyo, a city three hours from where they stay. In their spare time, they are farmers and they rent out their services to people who need help cultivating their large farms. They build a small mud hut that serves as their kitchen. They use firewood because it is the cheapest that they can afford. I also loved that they had goats in the compound which also looked clean. We did not meet Mrs. Sunday at home but the rest of the family was very welcoming of us.

The Sundays were really very happy to meet us. They initially thought we were sent by politicians, but when we explained who we were, they were, even more, happier to meet us. They received their bag of Rice with joy, knowing how expensive a bag of Rice is and how crucial it would be for them in this festive season. They expressed their appreciation to those who donated the bag of Rice to them and prayed that God will bless and reward them for this tremendous goodwill.
