I was so much impressed by the work of Arlene.What impressed me much more is how she sterted workig in a very small house. I also think she did not start with a big deal of money. Yet, I still have one question for her. How did she manage to go on despite the challenges? And what does it require such a foundation?
Dear Chris
Good to hear from you. Being new to this media my response to you has been slow.
You are right I did start very small with one house one small girl and little money.
There were and still are many challenges and I could not have met them without a strong faith in God and in people that God has placed in my life.
Such a foundation requires a need to serve others, patience, and trust. Keeping focused on your goals is very important. It is necessary to know the rules and abide by them.
I hope you are well and will return one day to visit Urukundo Village and witness what God has done here since your visit.
