Kære venner,
I dag er det min fødselsdag, men jeg skriver ikke fordi det er det vi skal fejre. . Men jeg vil utrolig gerne fejre at vi nu har rundet de første 100 børn vi har hjulpet til at få et værdigt liv. Det synes jeg er værd at fejre, gør i ikke?
Jeg har vedhæftet sidste nyt og med nogle dejlige opdateringer med nogle af de skønne børn der er i behandling lige nu. Jeg elsker det arbejde vi får lov til at gøre blandt de mange fattige børn, det er så livgivende. Og nu gælder jeg mig til at lande i Tanzania igen 20 september og bruge en måned med at tilse de mange projekter vi har gang i. Tak at i vil være med til at bede for den tur. Der skal en gruppe på 11 med ud så det bliver rigtig spændende for dem at opleve “mit Afrika”.
Solen skinner så smukt i dag, jeg må have været sød i år 🙂 Jeg takker Gud for hver gang solen skinner og det er dejligt vejr! For mig er det en gave, så det var en dobbelt god gave i dag, sol, varm og 100 børn.
Tak for fantastisk samarbejde

The father disappeared and they have had no contact with him for several years. Ruth is a bright girl in school. Her school decided to sponsor her schooling because they are really poor. For various reasons the school recently shut down and Ruth had to find another school.
The mother cannot afford to send Ruth to another school. Ruth’s grandfather is a Maasai and he wants to have her back in Maasai land. He does not want a girl to get eductaed, but instead follow the Maasai traditions for girls: to be married. Maasais think that only boys should get educated.
Ruth’s mother told me that Ruth’s grandfather had received an offer from an elderly, wealthy Maasai who wanted to pay a very large dowry in the form of many cows in order to marry Ruth. Ruth had been desperate because she wanted to stay in school, get her education and choose her husband when the time was ripe. For this reason the mother and Ruth came to our office asking for help.
We trusted God and sent Ruth to a good, Christian school where she is thriving.
We received a sponsor who will support her until Form 4 is completed. But Ruth wishes to continue for another two years and graduate from High School. If any of you would like to support Ruth for a few more years please write us or send a gift to our missions account. Please earmark it “Ruth”.
