They were pushed, challenged by the donors and felt dejected about what they could do. Yet when the community stories began to be shared, they were…

So i am a very late in sharing my experience in Lethem. Sometimes we fail in telling a story when at the right time, it has dawned upon me that time waits on no man and that we should tell even if its in a couple of words the story. I have been busy, yes, but i could have made the time to share the story. Better late than never...
