Here is a little story I want to share with you

On August 22, the day before we started the seminar, we all (with Franklin and Victoria the Babysitter) went to visit the GMI training center and meet the trainers. After a short conversation and a tour around, Kamila called me aside and told me that there was no place in the center to accommodate Baby Franklin and his sitter in their premises. She had not realised there would be a baby and a young girl with us. They are doing construction work around here. And, in any case, it would be against the law to keep baby and sitter alone, all by themselves, without adult supervision. She explained and apologising profusely, she left. I told the group when we walked out and there was silence. But after a few minutes, ideas started flowing. Maybe, in the morning we could find a food vender close by who would agree to let Victoria and Franklin stay with her while Mary attended classes. Check out homes with small children (drying nappies, etc around), and find out if any of them would agree to take in the Baby and Sitter. David Awala suggested just knocking at the first house, entering and exposing our problem; if no solution, move to the next. That is exactly what happened the next morning. We arrived around 7:30 a.m. at GMI center. David asked that he and I go to the house, just opposite and try our Luck. Two young people were sweeping in front of the gate, and after greeting them, David asked if we could see the Landlady or Landlord of the house. It was a Landlady they confirmed, and one of them called her as we followed to the courtyard. Wow! A large, beautiful, well manicured garden greeted us. Mrs Salormey came out of the room, and invited us to the veranda. She greeted us most warmly and waited patiently to hear our mission. David explained our predicament and we wondered if she could help. We were so taken by surprise, when with no hesitation at all she said, “Of course!” She showed us the summer hut (gazebo) in the garden and said it was all ours. The whole group could come and relax there until it was time to go for our lessons. The rest came in and we all sat around reflecting on what had just happened. Mrs Solormey came to the gazebo, offered us tea and told us to feel at home. She is a member of the Knights and Ladies of Marshall, of the Roman Catholic, an order known of charitable spirit. We could not have asked for more for little Franklin and Victoria! Franklin cried so much that first day that Victoria also began to cry. Mrs. Solormey took the baby and comforted them both. She advised Mary to come out every 30 minutes to check on Franklin. Yes, “and the angel appeared, out of nowhere, and spread her wings over us!”
