What if?.
I am a missionary and was born in Northern Ireland and now live in London.
My passion and inspiration to work and help these precious poor is born from my personal relationship with God. his love and mercy changed my life completely in 1986.
50 of the 64 children from this village have never gone to school.
Mary is 12 years old and she cares for her younger brother. She never has gone to school like most in Tunga/Zuga village. I called this photograph “what If”.
What if someone paid the £70 -$120. per year for her school fees, uniform and text books?. What if someone wanted to give Mary a future where she could learn to read, write, and what if Mary learned skills that would earn her money and she could help her younger brother also to go to school?
What if Mary had the change to be what she wants to be, a Nurse?
What if someone took the what if and made it all possible for her?.

It’s hard to look at this photo for too long, it saddens me greatly. But it must be seen…and heard.
TREVOR IRWIN replied
Thank you Kieran. I agree with you my friend. The hardest thing for me is that each time I travel to these villages each year some of the Children are not there. They have died from sicknesses and diseases that could have been prevented and for a few dollars. But this little girl Like Grace, Mary, David, Daniel and some others are now cared for and the twins in Tunga/Zuga village are safe now, thanks to kind precious partners and dear friends here on RB who have purchased my art and donated through our Charity website. truly we can and are helping. Kieran, you comments and encouragement means so much. Thank you.Please visit my Charity website:
