RESCUING A CHILD

I have been planning for today since mid week because the place i was going to be visiting with a group of adventures person was totally beautiful but then ........ gosh .....the rain decided to do a number on us. After the dissapointment i decided to go to town to pay fees for one happy boy who will be taking swimming lessons this term thanks to his sponser

(see that very very very happy smile)

Despite the rain today i saw a miracle with my own two eyes. Life is such that you have to learn to see the opportunities that come your way. I was in the ghetto very busy with house hold listing. This is an important job as it prepares the ground for the volunteers that will later come to carry out the research. And then the mysterious happened. The village elder and the chairman for Nyumba kumi came in to report an old man with absolutely no manners....His crime?....He was keeping a young girl in his house and he is like 80 years. Apparently he had lied to her that she would be employed and given little money and she could share his house.. Why oh why would someone want to prey on the desparation of others? The guy was lucky enough not to be present otherwise the women had vowed to dismember his mischevious parts that he has been using on innocent girls as young as 7years.
The village assistant chief was called in and the rescuing mission was carried out. INSPIRE takes care of children ....why should i leave this one out. I took her with me and called her mom and established that she is over 18 and ready to have a job. We found her one and infact there is the promise of furthering her education. God help our community... therefore it was a good day today


She may never have completed her education or gone past standard eight but hey we wount let her get lost her because some idiotic grandfather sees fresh meat. Plans underway to help her get an education.....
