First of all, I would like to add my voice to
that of Silver to acknowledge the receipt of funds sent for children's
education.* I thank all of the donors for their hearts of generosity at giving!
All the children have fully paid up their
tuition for this term, and did receive scholastic materials. We are
grateful. Jessica, Grace, Stellah and
Raymond asked me to tell you to share with them Psalms 23. In fact they wished
you could recite that Psalm verse by verse by heart.
Raymond is working hard and I am
optimistic he will make it to the university. He enjoys playing football
and has high sense of choice and is focused- I am impressed. Stellah is a bit quiet. Grace is talkative.
In fact she's served punishment once this term for being talkative in class!
Jessica is a good singer and likes reciting poems. Her first poem is taken from
1 Corinthians 13:1-13: "What is love?" she asks. I talk with Sarah at
least once a week. So far she is fine except she has a challenge in economics
in which I advised her to consult with respective lecturers, be actively
involved in discussion groups, identify gifted students and make friends with
them, put extra time to reading economics and pray to God for understanding.
John and Sheilla are sweet! They will always wear that great smile on their
faces. But they long to see Mama Aeri.
Sheilla asks when Mama Aeri is coming and I keep saying soon.
Lastly, Jessica is sick. I sought a car to
take her to hospital at 11.00pm after receiving a phone call from the school
nurse last Tuesday. She had lost consciousness. The doctor put her on IV
treatment and she is recovering though rather slowly. Stellah is also sick but
taking medication at home. She doesn’t need hospital admission as advised by
the doctor. Let's pray that these children recover soon as they are missing
their classes a lot.
I thank you for loving
us and praying with us.
Peace and blessings, Grace
