Kabalesi Donatha & Binta Samantha

Samantha asks her aunt, Kabalesi Donatha , to tell the story of her life so far. She learns that, while the aunt’s parents loved her, they could not easily support her love for school. So she married, it was difficult and ended, and health problems followed. But Donatha found that her faith was a great source of advice to her, and she wishes to pass on this to her niece. Samantha puts her dilemmas squarely to her aunt—that the life of a young person is full of temptations, especially when the yearning in Rwanda is so much for life!

“This wishing for life, Auntie, can make a young person so anything to enjoy it before getting old, but how do I get through these temptations?” Binta Samantha

“I remember when I learned that [my health was poor]. I almost committed suicide. But then I remembered Jonah’s story in the Bible and got strength from it. God can formulate a new life for you, even when you feel stranded!”
