They are about to start their own sewing coop, having already started taking orders for school uniforms, etc., in the village. They need to rent a building, buy materials, a machine to finish their work on the foot-powered machines, and such. We have provided the seed capital through a generous donor from South Africa, but still need to buy 10 machines for the new class for a total of $1500 ($150 each). Prayers and donations are welcome.

LITTLE ANGELS. The next week Gerrit visited a new preschool and he writes:
“On Monday I visited a new pre-school, ‘Little Angels,’ close to the Village of Reconciliation at Mboyo, and run by Prison Fellowship Rwanda. There are 116 ‘Little Angels’, ages 3-5, being schooled by two teachers in two very small classrooms. I felt overwhelmed watching these teachers trying to keep some semblance of order. I realized once again that the needs in this country are overwhelming to the human eye. I despaired, I wept and said,’God I can’t do this; this place is overwhelming me!!’ I heard God say,’What is impossible to man, is possible with Me. Just be obedient, leave the burden at the foot of the Cross. My yoke is easy and my burden is light.’ That is all I can do. He shows the need, I make it known, He touches hearts. Please pray for the ‘Little Angels.'”
