One
of the trips Deaconess Rhein and her students made during the two
weeks training was to the albino compound, where 261 albinos, 45 blind,
and 39 deaf children live.
These
children live in the poorest, starkest conditions, and were so grateful to have
visitors. They could not get enough of being touched and hugged.
I've
asked my youth group to help me gather 300 pairs of children's sunglasses to
take with me when I go back in March, so I can give them all a gift.
If
you could send a few dozen sunglasses my way, it would be much
appreciated!
One
more thing: witchcraft is very strong in this area of Tanzania. The Gospel is
desperately needed to fight against the devil and his hold in this witchcraft
and superstition.
This
is the reason the albinos must live in a compound is that witchcraft still
remains very strong in some area of Tanzania
There
is a belief by the witch doctors that Abino’s body parts have
value. Their body parts and blood bring good luck, so their
lives are in danger in society.
The
Good news is this; the Gospel is more powerful than the witchdoctors. And
many repent and become Christians when they hear the saving message
of the Gospel
