This story is one of thousands. We see it on a daily base, children from sub-Saharan Africa, children from all over the region, no home, no work, no school, no meal, no hope..
Thousands, and more.

The governments receive Billions in grants, loans, facilities by donors of all kinds, for all kinds of projects.

The money vanishes in outer space, huge manisons are built, posh cars are driven, by those who ought to make a change to their people. Yet, after years of independence, the name of the game remains the same - corruption.

Our own little contribution will not solve the problem.

Blessing for your journey of being united.

This is a quote that I find much comfort in:
Have courage for the great sorrows of life and patience for the small ones; and when you have laboriously accomplished your daily task, go to sleep in peace. God is awake.
