Kære alle jer som står sammen med os i arbejdet. Jeg sender endnu et nødråb, selvom det er med et bævende hjerte.
Som I måske har læst i vores sidste nyhedsbrev, så mangler vi penge til færdiggørelsen af spisesalen på skolen.
Vi mangler penge til spær og til tagplader. Det er vigtigt at der kommer tag på inden regntiden sætter ind i løbet af april md. Børnene mangler plads i spisesalen, der spises i to hold, så derfor har vi udvidet med en første sal.
Jeg ved ikke om der er nogen, som har mulighed og hjerte for at hjælpe os endnu engang. Vi har jo fået hjælp mange gange før.
Vi har brug for ca. 35.000 kr. til færdiggørelsen.
Ethvert beløb er velkommen og vi har gode erfaringer med at ”Mange bække små gør en stor å”, så derfor håber vi at det skal lykkes ved fælles hjælp.
Jeg vil sende billeder af det færdige resultat, så I kan se hvorledes det tager sig ud, når bygningen står færdig.
Torkild og jeg har det godt og glad for at vi stadig kan være med til at hjælpe. Torkild rejser meget på børnekampagner og til kirkeindvielser og jeg prøver at holde styr på kontoret, samt at besøge børnene på skolen om fredagen.
Jeg vil ønske jer alt godt kære elskede venner.
Send gerne en mail til mig hvis du/I ønsker at støtte dette projekt ”Spisesalen”.

The last part of the distance was a small, red dirt road that twisted among the banana plantations. At the end of the very steep road was the house where they lived. House may be an exaggeration because Johnson and his uncle share a room of 7-8 m2. The room is at the end of a hen house and there is just one building. There is no ceiling in the room next to the hen house. The smell was tough and we thought, “How can they sleep in that stench?”
Johnson has no parents. When he was little his mother died and his father died in November of last year. Johnson is an only child and his uncle is the only relative left.
Besides these challenges, Johnson has a handicap. There was an accident in his home when he was little. The housemaid had put a pot on the fireplace and left it to go outside. Johnson just learned to crawl. He moved himself to the fireplace and crabbed the handle of the pot with both hands. On his left hand his little fingers melted away at the extreme heat and his right hand is very damaged as well.
Although he lost his fingers Johnson is a competent writer and has a beautiful handwriting. He retained his thumb and most of the index finger on his right hand so he can hold a pencil.
Johnson seems to be a nice boy and is a very good student. But after his father died there is no one to pay his tuition. Without school fees he cannot continue classes as the uncle can barely make ends meet. That was very evident when we visited their home.
We have met with Johnson and his uncle again to hear about Johnson’s wishes for the future. In faith we have sent him on to Secondary school. He will be 18 years in July and has two more years before he graduates. If anyone reading this would like to help support his education there is a need for DKK 6,000 per year for this.
