A HUGE thank-you from me and Moussa & all the Sylla family. This will be just over £650 with the fees taken, about £600 when all the phone-calls are paid for. After I've paid back what was lent out of this, which paid for the D&C, there will be about £400 which will enable Buntu to have another check-up & be enough to buy some more market stock & start working again. She's much better already, she did some washing yesterday (a very physical activity in West Africa with a washboard and big tub, with a lot of heavy lifting involved).

Buntu still improving. she's able to walk much more easily now. Hopefully by the time she gets this money she'll be well enough to start her market activities again and so will be able to use some of it to buy new stock in order to start over.

Buntu is finally starting to improve - she's walking more easily and in much less pain. She's got a course of medicine to finish and the medicine for maleria also but is so much better in health and spirits it's almost miraculous...

Buntu has been back to the hospital (thanks to the generous loan of some of this money by a friend of mine) & - I think - had what we call here a 'D&C'. She says she's feeling much better & can now walk. She want very much for me to pass on her gratitude to my 'women's association' for the money. We've got another 3 way phone call booked in for tomorrow evening so I'll have a bit more info after that. Love and blessings to all of those who are helping her recovery.
