THE FAMILY STANDING IN FRONT OF THE HOUSE
APOLLO AND THE KIDS WITH THEIR GOATS Dear Paul and Shelly Cavazos:
I want to take this opportunity to thank the Almighty God who blessed us with wonderful and caring friends. I and my family would like to extend our warmly greetings to you and your family and we hope everything is well. We want express our heartfelt appreciation for the love, care and support you have been sending to us. We want to specially thank you for the gift of a beautiful permanent house, goats, a cow and beddings. Who are we to deserve all these blessings and love? We are so excited and indebted to your kindness and generosity. Your love is amazing and we have no words to express our inner feelings to you Paul and Shelly. Nearly every one in our village have come to see the house and livestock while making comments “from stark poverty to riches”, “what will ever happen to them they have their chance” they continue “God has given them and they are now through with the problems of the world”. The good thing is that every one seems to like me though other go on backbiting me because I have left their class and standard but with me I like them and I share with them the little I have to make them happy too. I thank GFR for the medicine of elephantiasis which I got. We are so grateful and we have no words to say.
We now sleep comfortably well in our house, we have mattresses and blankets , we sleep in different room and the children are very excited and have told nearly every one at their school about you and the house, their friends come here to see the house. I have told my children to stop bragging about what God has given us. We have livestock including goats, chickens and a beautiful cow and I am sure we shall start drinking milk from our own cow soon. We bought clothes and sandals for ourselves though some were stolen by children who come to visit but we still appreciate that we are going to buy new shoes and sandals. I was able to get proper treatment for my back and I no longer feel the back pains and I thank God for that. I am glad to report to you that we bought a small piece of land next to ours at the cost of US$320 but we paid US$220 and the balance will be paid in installments. This will help us to grow more food crops and run some poultry, piggery and goat rearing projects. We now have plenty of food and we rarely buy food because we still have what we harvested in our house. We only buy some vegetables, meat and milk like twice a month. We have household items and utensils to use for domestic purposes.
Our priority plans include finishing paying off the debt for the land we bought, buying chairs for our sitting room, buying 2 beds and buy some pigs for my project. I want to start a small retail shop in our trading centre which will help us have sustainable income for the family. I want to buy a bicycle and a radio. I have also saved some money with our local associations and 10% monthly savings on my bank account. Our life has drastically changed in terms of feeding, dressing, housing, breeding, health and food security and all this is attributed to you. We couldn’t have done anything without you. We love you very much and thank you for your support and prayers. We miss you but we have hope that one time we shall see as we continue praying for you. May the Lord bless you mightily.
