“Alzira’s and Jaime’s life was
changed by a very important event – the construction of a hut with 12 metal sheets which is a total “luxury”
for them”. Alzira is 10 and
is on the 3rd grade in São Vicente de Paulo School; Jaime Ngovene is
9 and is in the 2nd grade at the same school. During a long time
these children had a poor health. They are orphans and live with their
grandmother Salmina Saveca, who is of an advanced age.
After last year’s heavy rains the house
where the three lived fell apart, leaving this family with no place to sleep.
In the winter rainy days they slept in the neighbour’s houses.
The happiness of
the three is indescribable, but Salmina managed to send us a message: «Now,
more than ever, I have good reasons to keep on living and be happy!»
I told her: “It is true, you will have a
new home soon but your mission now is to do the maintenance”, and with no
hesitation she said: “This is the greatest gift I have ever received and
I’ll dedicate my life to preserve it."
