Letter to our Donors: Think of yourselves as organ donors

Dear Global Capacity Donors:

Many times in everyone’s life the request comes along to donate money for certain causes.  Some people respond with a yes, others a no and maybe some others are sometimes. My husband and I have been missionaries now for six years and having been on the other side, words could never express what the word donor means. You know usually when you think of a donor we can think of an organ donor. An organ donor is one who gives their organs after they die or some even while still living for the purpose of another person to enjoy life in a better way. Think of yourselves in the same way.

Someone who donates their organs is sacrificing something of their own personal being for the betterment of another. Here in Rwanda, as A Voice for Rwanda, partnering with Global Capacity, you the Global Capacity Donor does just that…..you sacrifice to give us life here in a better way.

The students you sponsor are all part of the programs we do in working with the families or the individual student. We could NEVER do it without you. You have no idea how your donations contribute to the well-being of each individual student and their families. Living here on a daily basis we see the struggle of life. Global Capacity is a different kind of sponsor. The provision for the students’ needs besides school fees is unique. It reflects the care about them as a person.

For me, Mama Muto, who so many times previous to having Global Capacity come alongside and sponsor  the students we work with would dread each time a student would come with a need. I started to hate hearing my voice having to say sorry we do not have the money, or maybe next time. Global Capacity has allowed me to function not in dread or fear but more in peace knowing the funds are there if they get sick, needing transport of going to and from school, personal items, boxes of metal they can put their belongings in so it locks, shoes and sportswear. 

We are forever grateful to Global Capacity who is our organ donor. By your sacrifice you have made our lives and the students’ lives better.  We receive all the hugs as we are the ones here physically with them. We share with them their good times, sad times, challenging times and can help them grow physically, spiritually, emotionally and socially.  You have allowed us to be able to walk out in all these areas.

On behalf of myself, my husband Les (Papa Muto) and Michael  (Global Capacity Program Assistant) we thank you with our whole hearts. We send you all the hugs from all the students. Even today, one young girl Cadette completed her application as Global Capacity will be paying her fees for vocational school. There is no way to describe how jubilant she was when she left. The one word that I could use to describe what your donations mean to each every student would come down to the word HOPE.

Blessings to each and every one of you,

Yvonne (Mama Muto) - http://www.right2school.org/a-voice-for-rwanda/
