Puddes House

Written 27.02.2012 13:05 under Archive

Dear beloved friends.
 

We have wonderful news about Pudde and her 7 orphanage children, which we like to share with you.

 

 

We’ve written a lot about her in our News letters, so I’m sure you remember her.

 

We met Pudde and the children a year ago. They then lived in a simple Hut with a floor made out of dirt and holes in the roof. All slept in a bed which was just the quarter size of a normal bed.

 

Later on we managed to rent 2 rooms for them. Build in concrete.

 

 

Pudde had 2 serious operations in her abdomen, but is now by the Grace of Our Lord totally well again and back in her full-time job as a teacher.

 

The fantastic news is that Pudde miraculous has found a nice big plot for sale ( 600 m2 ) with a house on it ( 70m2 ). The house is build in u-shape with 3 double rooms, 1 single, bath and toilet. There are roof, windows and doors already. It only needs to be plastered and floors made for them to move in.

 

 

House and plot, cost 65.000 kr. ( 10.000$)

 

The plots in Arusha have gone up. Before a plot that size cost 40.000kr. (7.000$) but without house.

 

It’s located in a nice and green area close to the main road and transportations.

 

We had to decide fast on this buy, so within less than a week we made our decision.

 

Unfortunately, we couldn’t go with her and check it out, because if the seller found out that white people were involved the price would go up. Instead we sent one of our workers who’s in charge of our constructions.

 

 

There were other buyers interested, but when the owner heard Pudde’s story he decided she should be the one.

 

We need economical help with this. If any of you will be able to help with this we’ll be ever so grateful.

 

The Bible says the ones who’ll help the fatherless will be largely blessed. This has been our experience many times.

 

Our plans are to already finish 2 rooms, bath and toilet, so they can move in as quickly as possible. The contract where they live now runs out in the middle of Marts.

    [post_content] =>  En masaipige ved navn Ruth Lucas, som går i Form 4 (Secondary school), bor sammen med sin mor og mormor her i Arusha. A Maasai girl by the name of Ruth Lucas who is in Form 4 (secondary school) lives with her mother and grandmother in Arusha. 
Faderen er forsvundet, og de har ingen kontakt haft med ham i flere år. Ruth er meget dygtig i skolen. Skolen, hun går på, har sponsoreret hendes skolegang, da de er så fattige. Af forskellige årsager er hendes skole netop blevet lukket, og Ruth har skullet ud og finde en anden skole.
 
Moderen har ikke råd til at sende Ruth i en anden skole. Ruths bedstefar, som er masai, vil have Ruth tilbage til masailandet. Han mener, at en pige ikke skal tage en uddannelse, men i stedet følge masaiernes tradition for piger: at blive gift. Masaierne mener, at kun drengene skal have en uddannelse.
 
Ruths mor fortalte, at Ruths morfar havde fået et tilbud fra en ældre, velhavende masai, der vil betale en meget stor brudepris i form af mange køer for at få Ruth. Ruth har været helt utrøstelig, for hun ønsker at fortsætte sin skolegang, få en uddannelse og selv vælge sin mand, når den tid kommer. Derfor kom moderen og Ruth til vores kontor for at bede om hjælp.
 
I tro sendte vi Ruth på en god, kristen skole, hvor hun er meget glad for at være.
 
Vi har fået en sponsor, der vil gøre hendes Form 4 færdig. Men Ruth ønsker at forsætte yderligere to år, så hun afslutter med en studentereksamen. Hvis der er nogen, som gerne vil hjælpe hende videre, så skriv til os eller send en gave til vores missionskonto. Pengene skal øremærkes ”Ruth”.
 




 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”.
