Displaced

Dear Maleng,

Thank you so much for welcoming us to learn more about what happened to your family and neighbors last week.  Its so hard to understand why the government could bulldoze your home of 10 years with no warning…

Leaving you and hundreds of other families with nothing but rubble.

I am so deeply sorry. I want you to know that I will be praying for you as you seek to provide for your 6 children and start over in your new home that overlooks your former.  I’m so happy that our design partnership will help provide for your family’s needs.  I wish we could do more, but we will do what we can.

So many beautiful ones played around us as you shared your story.  They too lost everything, but not their smiles.

In the short time I’ve been here, my heart has welled up with a deep love for this country and her people….especially the children and women.  I am thankful for our new friendship.

With love,

Kirsten
