Astridah and her grandmother


Translation from Chim:
Astridah is saying she is praying that someone will help her build a more stable house. The rainy season is around the corner. The grandmother in the video is emphasizing that the house Astridah lives in needs brick and iron sheets. The grandmother fears that when the heavy rains begin the house the girl sleeps in may descend on her.
The grandmother was pointing at the structure. She that she hopes that the sponsor will continue helping this girl since she has no mother and father to help her. As much as Astridah's grandmother wants to help her, she is too old to do much. The grandmother says may God bless the people that are helping Astridah and other children in communities. She says she has grown old and she has no means of helping her grandchildren, so she is extremely grateful for the help.
Special extra note from Chim:
The grandmother is thankful for the support given to Astridah including health support. She says,there is great improvement in Astridah`s health from the time she started being sponsored. You have put a smile on Astridah`s face. For the first time, I could hear Astridah`s voice on the video. (when she wasn't able to hear, she was not talking)
