A LETTER FROM THE FIELD
Little Sisters of the Poor
Kirambo, Rwanda
Summer 2013
[This is] a couple of very elderly people that we visited and brought some food for. The Man is almost 100 years old but is very old and sickly. The man is almost 100 years they say and the woman is 88 years old. The man is blind and nothing can be done as it is too late and he has advanced in age. The fact that he cannot see makes him feel so bad so ha relies on the familiar voices. He is sick and locks himself in the little house when the wife walks to go and ask for help for people to come and cook or get her some water. The old man opened the door for us and wanted to at least touch the food that was brought for him and his wife. He was so grateful for to us and we told him about the people that have been sending the money for them. He appreciated as he said that bringing him the food is the best thing that he can re‐
ceive since he can no longer go out and buy it himself. It was so moving as he shared the pain he is having. We have brought him to the health centre for treatment but still complains of the same pain.
