There is one incident that happened this week that is heartwarming and I keep thinking about it.
I was planting beans in one of the beds and mai Kumbi's granddaughter, as usual, since she came, came rushing to help out. This time when she asked to join me in what I was doing, instead of just keeping her busy, I showed her how to actually plant beans. I started digging holes and she would throw the bean seed and fill the holes with soil. She is only 5 and she did just a couple of holes before she became tired. When she was filling her holes and I was still very close to her, she looked at me and said "Auntie, thank you" in one of the most genuine tones I have ever heard, I had to stop what I was doing to understand what she was talking about. She went on to say, "thank you for giving me a job to do". It was such a special moment.
