Learning the Language of Love in Rwanda


Summary


If eyes truly are the windows to the soul, then Vestina Mukeshimana's must be singing, with a sparkle that wasn't always there.

Article


Born in 1995 in a farming community in northwest Rwanda, Vestina Mukeshimana has faced more challenges than most her age. The year before her birth, Rwanda experienced a devastating genocide that claimed nearly one million lives, including that of her oldest brother. Shortly thereafter, her father also passed away.

Fortunately, in 2001, Vestina joined Compassion International's child development program?"a sanctuary for countless Rwandan children who faced loss after the genocide.

Compassion International stepped in to meet many of Vestina's needs, from covering school fees to providing essentials like soap, body lotion, and medical treatments, even offering extra food when necessary. This support brought much-needed light into her life.

Soon after her connection with Compassion's student center, Vestina's family was notified of her sponsorship. "When I heard you chose me," she wrote to her sponsor, "it felt like a dream."

Tragedy struck again in 2002 when another brother died, and her last brother eventually left Kibuye. Early the next year, she faced yet another loss. "I am very sad to tell you that my mother died on January 10," Vestina wrote in a letter, after which she moved to a group home. Compassion's sponsorship program provides care for thousands like Vestina, children orphaned by war or disease.

Vestina's sponsor in Colorado reflects, "Reading her letters and learning of her struggles melts my heart. I believe the project workers in Rwanda are doing everything possible for her. After 20 years of sponsoring, I'm more convinced than ever of the program's success."

Despite enduring so much sadness, Vestina is making remarkable progress. In a recent letter to her sponsor, she wrote, "I am doing well. I have drawn a picture for you. It is of myself, you, and [my best friend] Ivona."

The vibrant drawing is labeled with the only English phrase Vestina can write and pronounce: "I love you."
