The great news is that people responded to the opportunity to provide a new home for Alice & Claude & their family (Alice & Claude are sponsored through TTI) & we were able to purchase the home for them & move their family into a new, safe place for them to live and grow. The house still has work to be done on it (this we will need to raise funds for & the team that goes in September will get to do some of this work), but it is an improvement none the less (see my last post for a photo of their previous home).
We have one of our volunteers in Rwanda right now, and she was able to help the family move into their new home. Here is what she said about it:
“It went very fast as they have only a few possessions. On the first trip we put everything in the way back of the Suzuki. Alice and 3 of the children went on the first run with everything except her cooking things. The second run we took the cooking things, a couple of stools,and their water container as well as Claude. Claude is a very good boy. We saw many of our sponsored child on the road walking to school so we photographed them in their school uniforms.It is amazing the difference a sponsor can make in these children’s lives.”
It’s not too late for you to join the September trip too- contact us if you are interested!
God Bless You,
