A father of all Seasons

-

My father sold his piece of land to pay my nursing tuition fees so that I could graduate and help my siblings. Thank you, Daddy, 



I was depressed and worried that I would not finish the last semester but he came through, and he reassured me that I would complete the course.

 My father is always available, emotionally, physically, financially, and spiritually.

 He is  someone who will treat people in the best way regardless of their background, I have seen him do this, especially with the friends I have, this 
taught me not to judge people at first sight but rather to get to know them better.

My father is open to communication, he wants to have genuine and honest conversations with my siblings and I

He will want to know every detail of what's going on in one's life.

Sometimes when I am struggling, I remember I got a dad to talk to and he’s available 24/7.

Every action you take impacts the lives of others around you , The question is, Are you aware of your impact?   Refugees are very amazing people. Like you, they need love, respect, equal opportunities and dignity. It is not their desire to leave their home countries. They have just lost everything and all they want is starting a new chapter of their lives.  For many, it is never easy. We crown 2020 with a very inspirational Story from Divine Irakoze, a refugee from Burundi living in Malawi. When we heard her story, we imagined the tones of unheard refugee stories  from all over the continent that need to be told.  How would you describe yourself? My name is Divine Irakoze.

It was only four years when she moved into a new relationship and left us in the custody of her brother, Mr. Olung David (R.I.P).  This was the beginning of my encounter with compassion and kindness firsthand.  At
