Where there’s a will there’s a way


I have never stopped thinking and dreaming about this concept ever since I got the twinkle.

If all goes as planned, I’ll be starting with mentoring one girl in our neighboring township soon. All I can think about is - never ever underestimate the first baby steps.

I’m super excited about the prospect and at the same time bit nervous (this dream is bigger than I can begin to write about it).

I promise to share this dream here as it unfolds.

I’ll always be grateful to God our dream-giver.
I have read and talked to so many people and each person dares me to never stop dreaming.

To God be the glory!!!!

Some days I am more than ready to dive in and reach out in every possible ways.   And, some days I am really petrified – the kind that leaves you paralysed. Today, I had an honour and privilege to meet with one of the girls am intending to mentor.  Her name is Alinah and she is the sweetest girl.  We laughed and talked like we’ve known each other for a very long time. The next thing I know, she starts crying, right in the middle of our conversation.  Prior to our meeting I expected anything to happen but I did not expect her to get emotionally overwhelmed.  It was our first meeting and we had ice cream and talked about school. Without going into details of Alinah’s emotional reaction, once again, I’m convinced that we can be the change we wish to see in the world....
