Quotes

“I was born with both parents, it reached a place all of them died. As the family of nine children I was the last born I had no choice but to remain an helpless. One day as I had seated at the front of our house my brother Francis came and told me that Pastor Francis wanted to start a home. I was glad to hear that because I could get food and shelter. Pastor Francis took us, by then we were twelve we stayed in his small house. As the time went Shangilia was built. We joined Shangilia the year October 2000.”

“My dreams and hopes are to work hard and be a doctor so that I may help other people in my country.”
