a vote of thanks

Last summer, Juma came on as a worker for TGD and within a year, he had gotten a better and higher paying job in Kisumu. Praise God! Give people a chance and see what they can do! God is working in all of us in so many ways. Give what you have and see what God does with your gift!

 

 

Hi Mama Stephanie.

            Praise the Lord. I thank the almighty God for having enabled us to be alive this time. I also thank Him for He is the might maker of everything on the earth and space.

            I take this time to appreciate the Trinity Global Development staff and all those who are in touch with the work of Trinity Global Development is doing in Kenya and abroad. I thank you too for having considered me as one of the Trinity Global Development staff to assist in one of the fields offered. For the patience and hard work I had, made the staff to choose on me. I give my great thanks to you Mama Stephanie for having accepted me to work together with the team.

            I being chosen is a great thing because I have been one of the volunteers from the beginning of this year and I have been serving in different fields especially when it comes to the less fortunate children. Like on 1^st of June 5, 2013 I participated in the raising of nursery beds. We raised sukumawiki, coriander, and black night shade and tomato seeds.  Last but not least I also participated in sowing of spider plant, cow peas and amaranthus.  I have enjoyed working with the fellow staff members.

                May the Lord bless you and your family abundantly.

HEARTFELT APPRECIATION

Here is an email from the past, but I wanted to underscore the importance of helping people developing their gifts and talents so they see what God can do through them and what He has given them. Just boosting their understanding of possibilities can go so far in shaping them for their future. Remember all those little events in your life that led you to where you are and how they shaped you. So many small events in childhood and young adulthood that helped you define what you enjoy and who you are. See if God will lead you to help others be encouraged about their gifts and talents. Even teach them what you know and watch what they can do! So many students can surpass their teachers if only people would share what they know. The little you DO know can turn into a powerful springboard for another. Share whatever you have! This is why you are given good things.

 

 

Dear Mama Stephanie,

 

Mama Stephanie, you came up with the writing competition request a week after I had just buried my dad. The day Don and Jack read to us what you needed us to write about was my first session after the funeral. Just maybe there wouldn't have been a better time for God to show how faithful he is than through you. That is why he made you come up with the idea of a contest. I just can't find words to say how I feel. I still couldn't believe that I was the winner despite having written that script at my lowest moment of my life. Thanks be to the most high almighty God.

 

I had never imagined my name, picture and story would one day appear on the blog (site) of any kind and especially that which belongs to God fearing people and people who upholds family values so much that they are here helping us and those orphans who cannot meet their daily needs. God bless you.

 

I'm so thankful to you, your family, members of the board and other people who read my story and made a decision that it was the five dollars winning script writing. Thanks a lot and God bless you too. I just can't find words to tell you how much I feel that you made me what I am today. I feel proud for you all.

 

I take this time to thank the following for their support in making my story the award winning writing, it is unbeatable to me that this is my life time achievement.

1.       God is the provider of life and everything we do is because of his power over us. And he knows the plans he has for every one of us. And he knows the plans he has for me and that is why he enabled to write what I wrote. He is so faithful to me. I say thank you for he made me the winner of the contest.

 

2.       Trinity Global Development-Had they not rolled the community Computer based program, then I would never had won this award. When I joined their worthy course, is when I got the chance to be part of the contestants for the five dollars. I just say may God always provide for the TGD family.

 

3.       Staff-They did a lot of work in sending the work I had submitted to them to you. They must have edited, formatted, and changed the layout and so on. This staff is a great blessing to me and my classmates. They are so friendly and I think they have been taught to be this way. Thank you for this team. They are always ready to assist where we have difficulties.

 

4.       Classmates-The overwhelming support my evening class and Jack, my tutor, gave me when I was at the lowest point of my life can't just be left out. I have always felt part of them, comfortable and ready to share out the knowledge. They have always worked hard with me. They received me back after the funeral and consoled me so much. Together with other classes; morning and mid-morning. I want to thank them all for their support had my class not given me peace at a time I was writing that story then I would not have been the winner. God bless them all.

 

5.       My guardians-they have always provided for my basic needs. That is why I take this time to appreciate them. They have always made me have a sense of belonging. God bless them all.

 

To sum up my appreciation, Mama Stephanie, the five dollars prize I won, I used them as follows:

 

1.       12.5% (sh.50) for offering on Sunday to God as thanksgiving for his faithfulness.

 

2.       22.5% (sh.90) to my classmate for their support just bought them cookies or biscuits, though so little. They accepted who heartedly.

 

3.       20% (sh.80) to the staff for their support in sharing computer knowledge with us. I just bought them some sugar and coffee sachet for their daily cup of coffee. These guys just do plenty of work to us.

 

4.       25% (sh. 100) to my parents who provide food daily for me on the table. Though little percentage, I could not fail to share the little with them.

 

5.       20% (sh.80) to buy credit for internet bundles. Having been taught about Internet and E-mailing at the Community based Training Sponsored by TGD; I intend to start checking the sites and my first stop will be texasrivers. Blogspot.Com in order to keep updated with what is happening in TGD all the activities.

 

Lastly, I take this time to wish You, your family and Trinity Global Development, Dell Computers Manufacturers, TGD Staff, Students of the Community based Training all the best and God's favor in the month of August and forever more. You'll always be part of me and you will remain dear to my heart.

 

I look forward to a lifetime association with you. I wish to be part of your big hearts that are giving hope to the many orphans and the needy and people whom you are supporting as ambassadors of hope.

 

Hope to continue hearing from you Goodbye and God be with you.

 

Yours faithfully,

Kelvin Madahana.
