Ms. Susan

I recieved some sad news today that I just cannot get off of my heart. Pictured above is Ms. Susan, a cook at one of the carepoints we visited in Swaziland. This was the first Children's Cup carepoint and Ms. Susan was one of the first cooks. She even took in a child from the carepoint to live with her and her grandchildren, whom she raises because their mother died of AIDS. She was dedicated and when the Elevate team was there, she took us on a community walk to hand out candy and show some love in the village. One of the last things we did was give her a brand-new big, soft blanket for her bed, which she was so thankful for.
I got the news earlier today that Ms. Susan died last night of the same disease that is ravaging so many lives in Swaziland, the same disease that took her daughter. If you can, please say a prayer for her family and for the carepoint, GiGi's Place.
