Marie-Claire NdayikundaMarie-Claire Ndayikunda, wife of the first Vice President of Burundi, is a childhood friend of Peace Nihorimbere, WOGA's Regional Leader for Rwanda and Burundi. Through this friendship, Marie Claire has come to be a member of WOGA Burundi. She and her husband were in the US attending UN meetings during the week that Global Action held our global staff conference and so was able to join us.
Marie-Claire said that the women of WOGA in Burundi have visited orphans and widows in slums where she has yet to visit. She said, "we love you, WOGA!"
Marie-Claire works with vulnerable families and says she enjoys providing children with things that she missed having as she grew up. She was raised in a poor family of 10 children and had her first pair of shoes in grade 7.
Marie-Claire asked that we pray for her for these things:
1. That God will help her to do the work He has given her to do,
2. That she would not wait, but would move forward in this work with whatever resources she has at hand.
On behalf of our chapter, Marie-Claire was given one of the beautiful little notebooks made by WOGA: LA member, Rhonda Waller-Bautista for our recent event at Descanso Gardens. Let's be sure to pray for her!
