Dear Mr Grant O'Brien,

          I am a peasant lady who approached you for assistance during your visit to our home village on the 27th February, 2006.

          I did my tairloring course and other subjects in 2004 as you can see them on the Certificate you got.

          Despite this course, I have failed to source some funds to buy my own sewing machine, material and other that, can sustain my living.

          Since you let a word to Mr William Phiri that I should write and list down the required items.

          I begged for assistance in terms of a foot sewing Machine with spare parts, material, chemicals for tie and dye/Batik and, others like transport to Chipata where most of the material is found, a bicycle as transport for sewed items, solar panel, inventor[invertor], regulator and a solar battery for electricity during sewing at night.

          Your assistance will alliviate my living and the community will as well benefit.

          I shall be very greateful if my begging is considered at your mercy.

          Hope to hear from you soon.  GOD BLESS

Yours faithfully,

Justina Zulu Banda

N.B.!  Dont forget a bible.

 

 

Note:  Justina approached me on one of the trips we made to Roger's village near Kakumbi Old Palace.  She gave me her certificate from the sewing school she attended with a record of her marks (excellent!) and her final certificate.  She lives about 19km from the main airport road in a very isolated community.

 

Justina Banda has been sponsored by Dianne Fraser of Edinburgh in Scotland who has provided an initial funding of £50, with a promise of more if required.
