Last week Catherine was able to write her name for the first time. Ann says Catherine
had not had any schooling and has stayed with her father for a long
time. The father came to visit her and said that he was happy she had
found a good place to stay and take care of her child. Before
last week Catherine and Eunice had been taking classes learning the
alphabet and writing. She was very happy to be able to write her name
and she is catching up quickly. She has also learned to take care of
her child and has adjusted to feeding times. They report that she has
one fear of anyone locking the door of their dorm on the outside when
she is in. This is because she was told that her mother died by a
fire which gutted their house and someone had locked the door on the
outside. Ann has asked the other mothers not to lock the door for
any reason while she is inside. 
This is Mutua -- Catherine's son is having a ride in one of the toys at the Eastleigh centre.Ann has told me that Eunice has adjusted very well to living at the Eastleigh centre. She says that when
they came, Eunice was very harsh to Kevin and occassionally beat him.
Through counseling and teaching her better ways to correct and take
care of the son, she has been able to love him more and have a good
treatment. She has also been able to attend classes and improve on her
reading and writing. Now she loves to be in class and is always
happy. 
Yvonne
is feeling much better now and is attending at least one class each
day. She gave birth just three weeks ago. Ann says that she is bright
and understands both written and spoken English. She is somehow quiet
but a happy person to be around. She loves being with MITS and is
thankful that we helped her at the time that we did.
