The eldest daughter, Sarah lives with her mother who is a nurse by trade but without work. She survives by working fields almost 30 kms (18 miles) from Beni to which she must often walk for lack of public transportation. Sarah’s father was a money-changer, whose profession attracted attention and led to his kidnapping by unknown men. Four years later, his fate is still unknown.
Sarah writes, « Our school is moving along well…..nice buildings, good teachers. We are doing fine. The Assumptionists who teach us are excellent. There are still things we need: school supplies, books, computers to help us learn and to help us advertise the school to others so that it can grow. Here they are forming us to be peace-makers. When I grow up, I would like to become a nun and doctor.”
