Der er virkelig sket noget forfærdeligt med Pudde.
Nogle vil gerne af med hende og har formået at få gift i en termoflaske.
Termoflasken bliver brugt til hendes flydende mad pga. operationen.
Afrikanerne vasker jo op udenfor og børnene havde ikke sat termoflasken og de andre ting ind, da de var færdige med opvasken og det må være der, det er sket.
Hun måtte babu babu på sygehuset i en taxi. Hun var bevidstløst og de kunne ikke komme i kontakt med hende. De havde taget termoflasken med maden i, med på sygehuset og der kunne de måle giften.
De gav hende modgift, og en masse drops med vand og medicin.
Hun er nu uden for livsfare og er kommet hjem igen. Men hvor er det dog synd for sådan en stakkels pige, hun har været igennem så meget mht operation og at være mor for 7 store forældreløse børn er heller ikke altid let.
Jeg har en mistanke om, at det er fordi vi har været der flere gange, vi har haft gæster med og vi har givet hende gas, en masse mad osv. Jeg tror der er nogle som er misundelige. Pudde har også denne mistanke.
Vi vil holde ud i bøn for vores kære Pudde.
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”.
