The people helped by these small grants provided by JRS, whether thee be for skills training, planting vegetable gardens, investing in livestock or starting a small business, are all so very grateful for the little they have and the help they have received. Watching them in their joy, graitude and beauty, you feel ashamed for yourself, for the place you come from- for all the selfishness and depression we fall victim to. It really makes you think and reassess priorities. It also makes you reassess development and the best ways forward. Their happiness is infectious.
