When i entered her home she was lit with eyes full of hope as she say "i vividly remember when you first came here to check on my son who broke his hand in a soccer match, I couldn't follow up and get him treated but when you said your organization will help I was really glad" I felt proud and I really appreciate the friends who made it possible and after her son was treated I promised her that through my organization I will help her to have a permanent house but it wasn't possible due to the effect of covid 19. I told her I purposely came to take some of her photos and her house so that I can prepare some evidence to win trust of the people ,she accepted only for the house but for her she said the community will see her as an evil and beggar, which will affect her reputations and later in future he children. Halima is a 49yrs old mom with 7 children from t...
