I first met Maud early in 2002 when she knocked on the door of our house in Isiro. I was working for Medair, an international relief organisation. We were based near Pastor Kibuka's house. We were going through a difficult patch in our work and Maud's gentleness and wisdom really encouraged us.

The next time I met Maud was later that year when we were staying in Dave Jacobssen's house in Nebobongo. We were supporting a local NGO based at the mission station, who were carrying out an amazing project running grass-roots development projects. Maud came to visit us with a cake and some Nesquik, the last thing we were expecting when we arrived in Nebo.

Your article has brought back all sorts of memories of my year in Isiro. Bless you Maud for your courage and love.

I am originally from Congo-Kinshasa. I read your information on the web and I want to thank you for being such a blessing for my country. God bless you Maud.

The History Man:
This article could quite easily have been called "Making a Difference". What a truly wonderful woman, an inspiration to anyone who reads her story. Over the past few months we have been listening to so many incredibly sordid stories reported on radio and television it is a great relief to be reminded that there are still people who care enough about the suffering of others to sacrifice their own comfort to do something about it. It must be a wonderful thing to be able to look back on a life spent on improving the lives of so many under priviliged and under nourished adults and particularly children.

Pastie Supper:
I agree. For most of us the closest we get to helping such causes is dropping a few pennies in a charity collection box. This woman clearly has made a really big difference to lives in underpriviledged places. It should inspire us all to do more than we do. I take my hat off to Maud and those like her who give up the luxuries of life and devote time to the needs of those who are less lucky.
