Dear Family and Friends,

This is to sincerely thank you for your timely and much needed moral and financial support that you afforded us on the occasion of the untimely death of Nancy Moraa the wife of my young brother Joshua Birari Nyamwange. Thank you so much.

I have no better words or better language to express how your comforting words, and your prayers, and your monies have played a pivotal role in this sad hour for our family.

I know how many other “fires’ were/are going on at he same time, but you found some time and resources to fight our “fire” too.

I tell people always that we should never get tired of helping others when we are capable. Your reward is not in this world.

“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. “ (Ga 6:9)

Jesus will say to you, “My wife died in South Africa and you helped me ship the remains to Nyarurubo village, Nyaribari-Chache, Kisii District, for burial”.

She was buried on Wednesday, July 16, 2008.

It is a fact that as long there are people and there is life, there will be births, sicknesses, training (schooling), weddings, aging and yes even death. I am sure the battle is ongoing and I encourage us never to be discouraged because as long as you have breath you know you will have to experience a “fire” of one kind or another some time in your life..

From the bottom of the Nyamwange Family we thank you for being there for us this time.

For the Nyamwange Family

Keen Nyamwange.
