Fiel grunts, and I am returned to the cold cement floor in front of me. Abruptly I am hit by the realisation that I have to be at the warehouse in 40 minutes to open the gate so that the loaders can fill up the distribution trucks. I am passed a cup of over-sweet tea and a piece of bread covered with greasy margarine. Yummy, this hits the spot and the tea warms me where my sweater has failed to do so. Pastor Langa, vice-administrator of the Presbyterian Church leads the team in a short prayer and then we hit the trucks.
Engines turn over with a struggle and the condensation is rubbed-away from the widows.
Slowly we pull out of the loading area. The loading teams are divided between the trucks and the vehicles head in their respective directions. According to the list, Pastor Adilio has 679 families who require assistance. That means we have at least 11 and a half tons of cereals, salt, and cooking oil. I just hope the truck will make it.
