Last night John and Susan had one of the young girls from Grace give her testimony for the teams evening devotion.
She told how her mother and father both died when she was still a baby. She went to live with her aunt – who also was sick with AIDS, and could not look after the baby very well. One day her Aunty died in the house and she thought she was just sleeping. It wasn’t until a friend of the aunty came that people realised she was dead and decomposing.
She was then put in an orphanage. Because she was HIV positive the people treated her cruelly, not letting her play with the other kids, tying her up, not sending her to school, making her sell things at the market everyday, telling her they would be better off if she was dead and the cemetery was just nearby so it would be easy. She was there until she was about 10 maybe, when she was found by Susan and brought to Grace. Now she is so happy to be where she is loved and cared for, and to go to school. When she came to Grace she did not speak any English now she is second in her grade.
She is a very beautiful young lady who gladly shared her story of how God had rescued her with us white people.
