Wish I could mention the names of all those who are making this possible for her education, but you all know yourselves and the good God knows also. …….I am so worn out that I can’t say much. We are all so happy and thankful for all those supporting the work of Nazareth House Apostolate. Look how you are changing lives!
And more words from James from an email to Mama Vicki:

“Hey Mama,
Good morning. We woke up late this morning but it was a wonderful night rest. The event yesterday at Lucy’s school went well and we had lots of fun and joy seeing the girls doing well. Thank you very, very much for making all this possible. Had I been told fifteen years back that my daughter will go this far, I would have doubted it but with God, You and all around Nazareth House Apostolate, things are turning up fine for them and all we encounter. What a difference you guys are making, giving people a chance, giving hope… I thank God so much for that first meeting of Father Seraphim, thinking of that day he came here to pray in this sad shape Sierra Leone ……… so long ago, so much has happened.
Thank you all for acknowledging God’s nudge and reacting. He is working through you in this… it shows. God bless you all. – James.

On the way out of Freetown we get a good view of living conditions in Freetown and its outskirts, passing the giant new Mosque, a gift to Sierra Leone of Col. Muammar al-Qaddafi, we drive on towards the up-country, the upper Provinces. Not far out of Freetown, we begin to see palm tree forests, thatched huts and more simpler living situations.There is a juncture point, between the Capital City meeting the town of Makeni, that Fr. Seraphim traditionally crosses the bridge. He gets out of the car and walks across. We take advantage of the stop to visit with the merchants and buy roasted corn, etc. off of their heads.Once back on the road we pass more palm tree forests and some absolutely beautiful scenery. The beaches of Sierra Leone are spectacular, however, the mountains of which Sierra Leone is named “Mountain Lion”, have majestic beauty of their own. The highway at this stage of the journey, is not bad, in fact it is quite good. We are travel at a decent speed to make good time at this point. Another plus is that its a sunny day. Thatch home after thatch home we make our way to Kabala. Passing a small village we realize it is time for one of Fr. Seraphim’s Prayer Offices. We stop at one of the homes and we are graciously welcomed. They are honored to have him pray on their property This gives us the opportunity to meet with the people and evaluate their needs. It expands our NHA family and allows us to add new faces to those we serve.Before we leave we notice the tires on our compact car
They are bald, hmmmm…Oh well, loaded to the max with people and supplies we say a prayer and take the luck of the road on to Kabala. We know full well that the roads that are ahead of us are in really bad condition…

Sad news. The medical equipment wasn’t functioning well enough to give her proper oxygen and there was no other equipment available to sustain such a tiny infant. I was very touched and amazed by lil’ Vicki’s strength and fight to survive in this world as long as she did. Today she passed on, she is now free from that struggle. God rest her soul in peace and may light perpetual shine upon her. Her mother is healing well and okay. Nazareth House Apostolate sends its condolences, love and support to Sanu and his family.
