Mama Niculas som vi har skrev om før, har gennem en periode, haft meget kraftige astmaanfald. Hun blev bl.a. hasteindlagt en nat, da hun pludselig ikke kunne trække vejret.
Hun har været hos en specialist, som har givet hende noget medicin og en liste over ting, som hun skal prøve at undgå. Vi har læst den igennem for at se, om vi evt. kunne gøre noget for at hjælpe.
Da de ikke har strøm i huset, bruger de petroleumslamper. Det forværrer hendes astma, så derfor har vi købt et mindre solcelleanlæg med 4 lamper, der kan lyse værelserne op og det fungerer aldeles fint.
Det var ligeledes et problem, når der skulle laves mad, da det foregår over bål. Det kunne hun heller ikke tåle. Derfor købte vi to gasblus og en gasflaske. Dermed behøver hun ikke længere at inhalere al den røg. Med disse hjælpemidler i det daglige går det allerede meget bedre for hende. Vi vil så gerne sige tusind tak til jer, som har givet os penge til hjælp til denne mor.
Vi ønsker at se denne familie oprejst igen også manden, som ikke kan gå pga. sygdom i fødderne. For Jesus er ingenting umuligt, det må vi huske.
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”.
