Here are a few more pictures of widows in the villages of Graniceri and and Dolat. Notice 2 of the ladies are making boulion from fresh tomatoes to preserve for soups etc for the winter. Others were making jam. We can but imagine what daily life must be like for these dear people especially in the middle of winter - having to dig themselves out through snow drifts to get wood, water from a well and to go to what we would call the Ty Bach in the garden.
Last December due to heavy snow, we were unable to make it to some of these remote villages - please pray that this will not be the case this December. Back in Wales most of their Christmas Gifts have already been made up - see earlier article on Debbie from Seven Sisters. I will be making up the rest on my return as we now have 43 on the project. They also look forward to receiving new slippers each year so if there is anyone out there who can donate a pair we would be very grateful. One dear lady, Mina reminded me that she needs size 39 (all noted in my book together with other needs). I have also bought a supply of multivitamins for them all to come out with their Christmas gifts. On returning to Wales we will also be busy making up lots and lots of Christmas boxes.
