Irene is a beautiful 15 year old young lady. She has a radiant smile and loves to laugh. But just a few years ago, Irene had very little reason to laugh. She never knew her father. Her mother lived a life of prostitution and gave birth to Irene when she was very young. She would often leave Irene for months at a time with her alcoholic grandmother, who was also engaged in prostitution. This created a very unstable life for such a young girl.
Soon her mother died of AIDS complications. Her grandmother became very abusive to her and she ran away, ending up at a home for street boys. The director of that home, feeling compassion for this hurting young girl, but knowing she couldn’t stay there, contacted us, and with the approval of the government welfare department, Irene was brought to Treasures of Africa.
Today, three and a half years later, Irene has grown into a lovely young lady who deeply loves the Lord and wants to preach His Word. She recently preached her first sermon at a church youth conference. She has just completed her first year of high school and loves the opportunity to learn. She is also a very good English speaker. We are so proud of Irene and where the Lord has brought her and we know she will be used mightily by Him for His glory.
