The agony in a year

Though it was happiness and sharing with 2021 Christmas with 49 families, (LWA) paid tribute to the family which lost a child who was under their support, the child died in November 2021. “It’s too much agony, since the commencement of Love With Actions, 4 years ago, we received these children who were facing many problems regarding health. Since we started, we have lost 6 children, and the one we lost recently MUTESI QUEEN is the sixth one, it is one of the issues that pain us, because we do whatever we can, but the most depressing to us is burying him/her, despite all the efforts we apply, it’s very painful.” Said Gilbert Kubwimana
