Helping Single Moms at MITS

Mercy came off the streets to us at MITS, along with baby Arnold (named after Schwarzenegger). She's an orphan. What she wants to do as a job is to work as a secretary. So what the Team decided is that she learns computers well. What she does now is go to Maureen at World Bible School, right on our MITS property, in the mornings. There she learns office work and simple computer work. In the afternoons, she attends computer class.

I was talking with Joel this morning; he says that in his university business classes, he has right now a business computer class. So what he does is bring home the power points and has a special class with Mercy. In my opinion, this is just the best thing for Mercy! Secretarial colleges here still mainly teach filing, shorthand, and not much computer instruction is available. Thanks to people who donate time and resources to be available to someone like Mercy.

This morning in chapel, Arnold made the rounds of almost all of us, shaking hands and smiling. What a different and wonderful life he has (and he delights all of us!). In these days, he and the other children are in our new MITS Children's Centre, taught by Helen and Millie. I think he really has a future!
