Esther and Enock, October 2017
SEED A Better Life began supporting primary school for Esther and Enock late in 2014. We could not choose one without the other. After all, twins are a package deal! They have both done well, and we are proud of their academic progress.
Being a fraternal twin myself, I can only imagine how Enock’s heart broke this spring when he learned that Esther had been hit by a car while walking home from school, and that she was in the hospital in a coma.
Esther, recovering in September 2018
Separation is painful enough, but knowing that your twin is in critical condition is devastating. Esther has been in the hospital for several months with a feeding tube, a broken leg, and many other injuries.
During our 2017 visit to Rwanda, I was especially interested in meeting Esther and Enock in person. I watched as they sat close to each other during our time of worship. Esther seemed slightly taller than her brother but thin and fragile. They both recited Bible verses for us. When Esther and other girls began to perform a praise dance, it was as if Enock could not be left out. In the middle of the performance, he jumped up and joined his sister and the dance team!
Without you, Esther and Enock would not be in school, and SEED would not have been able to help with hospitals bills. We praise God that Esther is now showing promising signs of recovery! There is something incredibly amazing about being a twin. The bond you share, the experience of doing life together at every stage is special. From the beginning of time, you are connected, a team of two. This makes me especially thankful for the financial support SEED has received and given to Esther and Enock.
In this season of Thanksgiving, our hearts are filled with humility and gratitude for the support from our donors. All acts of kindness are making huge impacts in the lives of these two beautiful children and so many more.
Please help us continue to care and support these children in what matters most.
