This is a responce to Boniface Oriaro's e-mail telling me how he has tried in vein to receive help from the CDF. It is just unfortunate. Wish people could be sensitive to true situations where help should go and promote the work of God given guys like Boniface... Read:

Dear fr Gordon thank you very much for reply about the work am doing in the community but let me assure you that the cdf has not helped us since 2003 to date so am very sorry to tell you that i have really filled forms for the cdf but no response has been made. all that i have done is through well wishers from asian community some i go for their help and friends. my friends all you have seen sometimes come from my pocket. that is why if there are friends who are willing to help, the door is open for him or her. God bless u asante fr.

Dear Boniface,
Don't worry. Don't be afraid. Continue insisting because that cdf money is for the poor needy children of God. And I repeat, continue insisting without getting tired. The Lord will see you succeed. We are with you.
Listen to this true story:
Once Mother Teresa of Calcuta went to a very rich man to beg for the needy poor people and it is said that when Mother Teresa extended her hand to beg, that man spat on her hand and Mother Teresa simply with a smile on her face closed her hand, put it into her pocket, wiped it there and extended it again saying: THANK YOU SIR, THAT WAS MINE. NOW GIVE ME SOMETHING FOR MY CHILDREN.... and the man was perplexed, donated what he could and is said to have become one of the best benefactors of the work of Mother Teresa and even one of her great friends...
This is great, this is extraordinary, this is a Saint; Mother Teresa. That's what you are called to be. Work tirelessly knowing that it is not for you but for these people God has put on your way. It is your vocation, it is your call. Do not fear. All will be ok. Do what you can and leave the rest to Him.
We are united and just know you are not alone.
Blessings.

I know all too well about that CDF thing. i faced it first hand last year when i was trying to get additional funding to put up classrooms in my village school. the MP flatly refused to help us claiming we hadn't voted for him. eventually Safaricom Foundation agreed to fund the project on their own. we are hugely indebted to them
