We have 2 new volunteers in our house. One from Denmark and one from England/USA I already love them so much! I did a home visit yesterday to a lady named Emmerance. She told us about her experience during the genocide. She showed us 4 scars (skull, neck, hip, and leg) she got from machete wounds. One night the inahawyne came after her. They dragged her out to the street and chopped her up. They left her for dead and ran after another Tutsi woman. Some people had watched the whole thing and ran out and rescued her and took her to a clinic. Yet another woman with a terrible background, and yet she is so sweet and kind.
The next day at the clinic this lady named Florentine asked to speak to me in private. She told me her husband is abusive to her and her children, so she has been coming to the clinic to get depo shots to prevent having another child being brought in to this. But her health card was expired and she couldn’t do the necessary things to get the shot and she had no money for the health card. After a series of events I was able to get her health cards for her whole family and she got the shot. Then best of all I introduced her to Lynn and she is going to join the GBV (gender based violence). Serving and helping others is the best feeling in the world.
