Options included:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Livestock (chickens, rabbits, goats) and seeds as families in the area rely on growing their own crops for sustenance as well as for sale<\/li>\n<li>Household equipment such as cleaning essentials, jerry cans for water collection, cooking equipment; as well as mattresses and blankets for increasing warmth and comfort<\/li>\n<li>School books pens and pencils &#8211;\u00a0 a class of 48 in a village school could be equipped for just \u00a315<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The pictures show just some of the donations that were made through the generosity of many people.<\/p>\n<p>Delivery of these gifts can transform the lives of families around Lake Bunyonyi through Itambira Island Seeds of Hope; providing comfort and potential to create their own produce to eat and sell.<\/p>\n<p>The COVID pandemic has presented severe challenges to the area of South West Uganda served by Itambira Island Trust.
