Visiting Deba's Children with Pastor Moussa
Samba with Paul's daughters - Camie and Mary Madeline
Samba is doing great! Thank you for all of your prayers! Her wound is healing well and a doctor in the village checks on it daily. She is staying with Paul's family and hopes to go to school in a few months. Sadly, she is too old to go back to public school unless a judge changes her age. Here it is actually possible to go before a judge and ask them to lower the age on a child's birth certificate so he/she can continue his/her education. This can be complicated and expense, and there are private schools in the area that Samba can attend. There is also a center near Paul's house that provides practical skills for young girls who dropped out of school. Right now this looks like the best option for her. We walked by the center as I was leaving the village and Samba started talking about all the different classes they offer. She would love to go back to school. Please continue to pray that God would provide all of Samba's needs. Many of you have already given generously to Samba's medical expenses. Thank you! She still has some expenses that need to be covered. If you would like to help out, please drop me a line. Thanks!
