Wheelchair Request

Greetings readers,
Before I share any fun stories with you all I'd like to tell you about a little boy who lives in my village. I walk around my village every day and normally greet people along the way, there's one house that I barely know but the people have already shown me so much kindness. One day I was greeting people and I was having a bad day because the man who was suppose to water my pepinere would not do anything to help; I told this lady I didn't even know and she told me... "leave your bucket here and I'll water your pepinere for you, I'll make my daughter help."Mind you the person with the key to the gate is the man who refuses to water the pepinere so we have to jump the wall in order to water this pepinere.... This is the The boy is about 13 years old, and he's been confined to a wheelchair his whole life. He has outgrown his childhood wheelchair and would like to push himself to use an actual hand driven wheelchair. The boy and his parents say that he's dying to be able to use his hands. This little boy lays down under a tree everyday because he can't even leave his compound. I've emailed various non profit organizations who dedicate their time towards wheelchair distribution and technological advances asking for helping/assistance in tracking down a wheelchair for this child, I'd also like to ask anyone whose reading this blog for their assistance, knowledge, advice, anything and everything you can share :).

Updates:
Everything in village has been going really well! I have a completely new mindset when I'm village that has helped me stay sane. I'm not sweating the little things, and I'm not takings things as personal right now, granted this is a very new thing I've been experiencing, but for now it's working. Some days I know I'm not going to be to let the little things slide, and that's okay- that's normal and I need to embrace that I'm not the only one whose going through what I keep thinking I'm the only one whose ever been through that situation. My family situation in village has been really good, I realized I put too much pressure on this grand "family connection" and that my expectations were just not obtainable. I just had way too high of expectations and standards for my family to fulfill and that's not fair, and completely unobtainable seeing as I've only been in site for a few months. And yeah some other volunteers have this great connection with their family already, but everyone's different and I can't blame or myself for this.

I've been fasting, I broke fast 2 days -- because I got sick and so I had to break fast, and then one day I just broke because the next day I was leaving to Ndioum regional house and just broke, but it was cool cause some of my other friends broke that day too. So I've been in Ndioum since Monday just hanging out and trying to get some work done. It's been a nice break but I feel like I've just been on the computer the whole time trying to find as many resources as possible, and trying to track down documents, etc. I've been surrounded by great, fun, and amazing friends-- but been tied to a computer the whole time. At least work is getting done though :)

I'm gonna leave you guys with a small blog post now, and I'll update next time I have internet.

Loves,
Hadiel
