“Hello my family!

I thank God for every one of you who are helping us to fulfill our goals. God knows you and will pay you back.

Now I have two groups: the Thursday group and the Saturday group. I have four girls in my Thursday group and six girls in my Saturday group.

We had four weeks of training this month (stretching, self-defense, boxing and GWP curriculum) and we had fun in that. We have a new boxing coach, Gael, and he is a blessing for us.

Something which touched me so much was when we were reading the second chapter of the curriculum “Mon histoire: La Creation” (My story: Creation), one of our girls, Nathalie realized that she can’t be under the slavery of her body. She realized that she is a marvelous creation of God. She has to be proud of her body and how she was created by God. I thank God for that.

The girls are learning faster, I can’t believe my eyes!

Joelle and Susanne are the two girls that were training with me in self-defense (quicker than the others so that they could leave and start their own groups further away). Joelle is starting her group in Bukavu, Congo, and Susanne is starting her group in Kigali, Rwanda. But they have an issue of finding a place to train so we are praying to God to allow us to get a place to train so we can begin with our activities.”

We thank God for the initiator of the Graceful Warrior Project, Kelly Kelly.

We thank God for Un Jour Nouveau.

We thank God for all girls we are working with.

Together we can raise up the ladies in this generation!”
