An “Irene” Update

I just returned from South Africa.  Although I did not get to see Irene, I did find out some relevant information.  The homeless camp where Irene lives is being closed by the municipality.  The people who live there now will be relocated to three new places.  Someone donated a piece of property for either one or two of these places ( I am not sure ) and Irene and her parents and family will be moving to one of these two places.  Apparently most people think that this is a good thing as the people will now actually have a more or less permanent location without interference from local government.  I do not know what this means in terms of Irene’s welfare.  I do know that she has stopped running after some complications when she tried to begin again following giving birth.  It is quite difficult to get accurate information about her status.  I will continue to try.

Please pray for her.  I suspect she is not really in a good place these days.
