update

Today was the first day of summer school for the Secondary School children. The 14 children who just finished 8th grade at the Good Samaritan School were so excited. They haven't been to school off campus before. They were asking Thandie and the other staff so many questions in anticipation. We are still in desperate need of funds for these children to go to summer school . They all started today....by faith. Please click here to see how you can help.

Today was the funeral for Savannah-Hope's birth mother, Chrissie. Good Samaritan purchased the casket and many of the staff attended. Chrissie was a member of a Good Samaritan Baptist Church. Savannah-Hope went to the funeral. Andrew's wife (Andrew is the vice president of Good Samaritan and Principal of the school) tied Savannah to her back when they arrived at the funeral. During the entire funeral no one knew who Savannah was. When the funeral was over Thandie untied Savannah and told her uncle who she was. He immediately started crying and praising God for the miracle He has done for Savannah. He brought the other family members around to see her. They were all rejoicing. Thandie was able to get some pictures of Savannah-Hope with her three biological siblings. There is a family meeting on Tuesday (Nov 14th) to determine the plan for these children. Currently Savannah-Hope's 10 year old brother and one of the two year old twins (Sidala) live in the father's home village with the paternal grandmother. The other twin, Tamandani lived with the mother and maternal grandmother. The maternal grandmother is mentally unstable and now that the mother is gone, we are not sure what the plan will be for Tamandani. The pastor from Savannah-Hope's village will keep us updated on these children as they are full siblings to Savannah.

Ida is back in the hospital and is not doing well. They fear that she has meningitis. She will undergo a spinal tap on Tuesday (11/14) morning. Ida has been battling one illness after another. Her body is very week and she has been enduring so much pain. Please pray that her suffering will end soon.

A 10 year old little boy showed up to the gate at Good Samaritan today looking for a home. Please pray that God will provide him a safe place to live.
