THE FAMILY STANDING IN FRONT OF THEIR SWEET POTATOES PLANTATION.
Happiness and joy are beyond imagination for getting such an opportunity to send my warm greetings to you and your family. I hope you are well and God is taking good care of you. I want to thank you very much for the support you are sending to me since January. Your heart is so kind and God will reward you well. You are getting us out of the extreme poverty and we have now started living like any other person in the community though we still live in a ram shackled house we hope for the better.
You can’t imagine that hunger was going to kill me first before my grand children, it was because of hunger that I used to walk with a stick but now after having bought enough food and ate for one month I am glad to tell you that I no longer use the stick when walking. I no longer bend these days I walk and stand upright now. My children have started looking well and no longer malnourished they are changing and putting on some weight though they still sleep badly. On Saturday 8th march 2008, Esta fell in the wale where we fetch water and she was nearly drowning but thank God she was rescued by one of the locals called Emanuel who had gone too fetch water too. She had swallowed a number of liters of water, he made alarm and people around the village came, placed her stomach hard and she vomited it, we later took her to the clinic in Kamwenge and she’s now okay.
We grew some food crops like sweet potatoes, cassava, beans and maize and soon we shall be harvesting the sweet potatoes.
From the money we have been getting, we bought clothes and school uniforms for the children and we look good in our clothes. We bought food and these days we eat at least two meals daily. I got sick for 2 weeks and paid for the drugs that I got from the clinic, I also paid the money for medication of Esta who had fell in the wale while collecting some water. We bought a Jerican for fetching water, 3 plates and 3 cups. I also paid for exercise books, pens and some school fees for my grand children.
We now plan to rehabilitate our house which might collapse at any time or catch fire because there are many wild fires set by cattle keepers who want fresh grass for grazing their cows, we want to construct a toilet and buy domestic animals to rear them. We also need blankets, mattresses, mosquito nets and shoes.
We thank you very much for your prayers and the financial support we have been getting from you. May the Lord continue to bless you forever.
Yours faithfully,
Nyamirere Joy
