More to Come

Our next meeting for the Rwanda Team is Monday, March 29th, 6:30pm at the US Digital Building.  There is still room for you in this team & we are really going to have a full & fun trip together!

We had 2 volunteers in Rwanda earlier this month that have now arrived back home.  (I’m sorry our blog was inactive for a few weeks- we had publishing issues & had to have it moved to a new host.)  Although this note is a few weeks old now, I thought it would still be good to share it with you 🙂

“We have not only been taking sponsorship applications, I believe it is at 4 or 5 now, but lots of pictures of children to update their profile. Every morning Ngoga has several people waiting at the office with their children in hope that they can [get their children sponsored through] TTI. The other morning one woman was there asking for help to return to the Northern Province. She has been here unable to support herself and her children. It was heart breaking, a mother trying to do what is best for her and her family but still in such desperate situation. I don’t know what decision was made but I thought at that time I was glad that I didn’t have to make that decision.

On Tuesday we registered one little girl who was brought in by her Dad, who is HIV positive. She is his last daughter and he wants to make sure that she is in the best situation she can be in. She is such a sweet little girl. Another child was brought in by his Uncle as both his parents are deceased. Ngoga has a very difficult decisions to make about each and every child presented to him. But the positive aspect is he personally knows each child and their particular story. Both of the children were accepted into the program, which will give them and their family hope for the future.
…  I have such heart for the people here and their struggles.

The boys at the [Home of Innocence] and I played UNO yesterday again. They have really learned to play well and enjoy it. If anyone wants to know what to send to a child a special gift, a book would be very good but make it an easy one to read and understand.”

Ngoga (our Rwanda National Director) does a great job running the operations in country and ministering to the kids.  Please continue to pray for him & his family, as well as our other staff there (house mom, house helper/cook).  Pray for wisdom & the strength to continue to minister, protection and provision.  We also pray for more sponsors so that more children can experience the hope that a little help provides.  It is amazing how small changes (like being able to get an education) can make life long differences!

Thank you for partnering with us.  It truly is a privilege to do this work.

God Bless You,
