Through a Glass Darkly: IN THEIR OWN WORDS...

The people in Canada have been absolutely WONDERFUL in their loving response to Harry's plight. His school fees have now been caught up; his sister and family have food, and they have HOPE. It also turns out that his childhood was far more desperate than even I imagined. I won't give details, but I thank our Heavenly Father for giving Harry strength and persistence to survive those dark, dark years.

Both Harry and his sister, Hendrina have asked that I pass on their thanks to you. Here are their letters, in their own words:
------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Hendrina)
"Thank you very much Mrs. McGowan, for the money you gave to my family. I received the money, don't doubt."
(Inez's note: I'd sent the money to Hendrina via Harry).
"And not only that, but also for the money paid as my brother's fees. Maybe it is possible for me to thank the people for the action. May the Lord bless them, thanks."
(translated from Chichewa, as Hendrina speaks little English)

(Harry)
"I hope that you are all fine. Back on my side I am good. It's my pleasure to have such a wonderful time to write this letter to you. I wanted to thank you for being concerned and taking action after getting wind about my story. May the Lord bless you abundantly.
I am a boy of 18 years old (born in 1993), last born in a family of three children. My mother died in 1994. This is the story that I was told after 9 years by my sister. When my mother died I was raised by my father until 1997 when he also died. There have been so many problems that I have experienced in my school journey. My sister is now not working and even her husband has no work, so she can't afford to pay my fees. But through Mrs. McGowan she made all possible so I am still schooling. I thank her.
Another point that I forgot is that I am a Christian.
I have potential to do well in class and I will make it. There are so many problems that I have, but the best way of solving all these problems is school. If I go further with education I will get a good job. My ambition is to become a medical doctor. I work hard in class so that I can achieve my goal and help my relatives.
May the Lord bless you all abundantly."
