Excerpts from a letter from the DRC

November 17, 2008

My dear friend,

Receive my warm greetings in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ!  I am a 36 year old widowed mother of seven children and also care for 3 relatives.  I rent a small house of a single room and a living room.  As an income generation, I sell cassava flour, charcoal and used shoes.  I also put some designs on bed sheets (kind of embroidery).  My housing conditions are very poor: the rented house is about to collapse with leaking roof and doors that can easily be moved even without any effort.

I am grateful for having such a loving and wonderful friend who is ready to know and share my life experience including good and hard times.  Thank you for your devotion to me and to other women all over the world.  I never thought or dreamt of having a friend but God is good.  Through your support, I will receive different job skills and will broaden my knowledge.  Thank you a lot for the sponsorship fund I am receiving.  I will be praying God to bless you and give you a long life.

Yours,

Josephine, DRC
