A friend of Mustard Seed sent a
gift for a Mustard Seed school’s Orchid Club as a Christmas gift to her
husband. She might have imagined her gift as a bunch of garden tools.
But there were few details with the thank you…until today when this note
arrived. Please pass on some information about the money that was sent for
the orchid club last Christmas. We gave the funds in rupiahs to the
Science Club coordinator to work together with the students on a project.
I have a complete breakdown of expenses plus all of the receipts.
They bought two gardening tools, a book about orchids, pots, trays, and
twenty orchids, which they distributed to the classrooms. They have been
teaching the students how to care for the orchids, and if one of the orchids
dies, the class that was taking care of it replaces it. Every single one
of the twenty orchids is a different variety.
Not only is this Christmas gift still
blooming with life, but in a country where half of the population is involved
in agriculture, knowing how to care for orchids could lead to gainful
employment.
