Carine Zongo, from Burkina Faso, is a young girl who went through rejection after her father passed away when she was very young. She doesn't even remember her father. Carine moved from one family to another, babysitting children to make money. She had to send the little money she made to her uncle. A few years ago, her family was about to give Carine to a man to be his wife. She ran away to one of her other relatives who encouraged her to talk to Dorcas, Dina’s sister who directs the Village of Opportunity (VOO). Carine was welcomed into Dorcas' family where she was loved and cared for, where she learned about Jesus’ love and accepted him as her Savior.
Dorcas recommended that Carine apply to the VOO. Dina and Alassane were happy to welcome her into the school and into the family of other students. Praise God for those who cared for Carine, demonstrating God’s love and that she is safe and learning at the VOO!
