Psalm 27: 10

Two weeks ago Mavuno received two more kids from Social Welfare in our Off-Campus Program. Twins, Veronica and Victor Joseph, moved in with a pastor, Kabulimoja, in Lamadi, a town about 70 kilometers from here. Veronica and Victor were the fourth set of twins their mother had given birth to, from as many men. She had been moving around, and on her move to the Mwanza region she left behind all the children with there fathers except these two. Lack of funds caused her to depend on men, and to go into debt. Six months behind rent, deep in debt, and desperate she moved again, leaving behind her twins, but taking her four year old daughter. Her neighbor told the local village leader who informed Social Welfare, and they began searching for her. The local village leader fed the children for two weeks as the search for their mother or any relative continued. The twins had never met any relatives and did not know who their father was. On the 17th of last month Social Welfare contacted Mavuno Village and on 23rd the twins moved in with our recently accepted Off-Campus foster parents.

Bethany Tanner went to see the kids the day they moved. They insisted that they were seven years old, but Bethany guessed that they were some where between 10 and 13 years.
