Pastor Lotie writes "It it is so disappointing
to learn that Paulina is no longer in my home in Tunduma, even the
sewing machine which the late my mother bought for her she has left
it the home. The reason behind this is her relatives came and took
her because they discovered that my mother is dead. What surprise
me is these are the same people who tortured her to the point that
my mother took her as her daughter.
Now am hearing that her family want her to be married
they are doing this because they want to make money out of her since
the man who is to marry her will pay three cows, two blankets and
some money which they will share.
But Paulina assured me that she will not accept this, she will tell
them that she wants to go to school, so the situation is so distressing.
I want to return to Tunduma and help her but I feel like it is impossible
at the moment. How can I speak with her relatives who are so hungry
for money that they are ready to let a young girl of this age go
to be married just because of money.
My suggestion is when we have found a sponsorship
for her then that would be the good time to go and rescue her, what
I will do is to go with the forms from the school which she will
attend then her relatives will not have reason to refuse."
Pastor Lotie.
I am grateful for the sponsorship from Mr Andy
Nurse of Super Centre in Barbados, his help has saved me from a
terrible life by enabling me to have further education.
