Hi Mum!

Today I would like to tell you Who is Mr.Iddi to Me!!!

As I told you in the Past that I came here in Tanzania to Seek for some Opportunities so that to get the requirements of my Daily life.

When I was leaving Malawi, I told my father that I want to go to Tanzania to seek Job opportunities that could help to Boost My Education.

My father was refusing me to Come here because he said I was too Young to be in Dar-es-Salaam with nobody. But I insisted & told him that I will go to Tanzania & I will see what to do there. I also told him that everything is in the Hands of GOD! Then I asked Him this question! You & I are starving here in Malawi together, Is there any difference if I go far away to Starve for the sake of trying to save myself & yourself from this Starvation? Finally he was Convinced & allowed me to come here.

He looked for Fair Transport for Me & Escorted me to the Bus station. But before I leave, He prayed for me & asked God to Bless Me while in Tanzania.

Then I told him not to be worried because it is only GOD who will Protect me & he is our Saviour. But I could feel in my heart that he was much worried for my safety.

When I came to Tanzania, I had to stay with someone who is also a Malawian as to wait untill I get a Job for a self reliant. I used to crewck around at that time looking for what to do.

One day when I was Crewcking around as usuall, I met Mr.Iddi. We greeted & Spoke to each other. He was surprised to hear that My Kiswahili was Broken, Because it's a long time ago since I left here with my Mum. It was when I was too young. So I could not speack fluent Kiswahili like nowadays. Then Mr.Iddi asked me about which another language do I speack well. Then I told him that ENGLISH.Mr.Iddi jumped & said that ''GOD IS GREAT''.

He said that he as happy because he was looking for a person who could teach & Train him English. A taxi Driver to be more Successiful in Dar-es-Salaam, He needs to know abit of English becauese alot of Customers are outsiders(wazungu).

He asked me to teach him & that he should pay me Monthly. I told him no! I will teach you for free, only I need from you is to regard me as your own young brother & You should be like my reall Brother. We should assist & Depend on each other. Then He agreed!!

That was the Beggining of our friendship. Then to be realistic I can Say that he is my Friend. But he is also my Brother because he did & Does what my reall Brother could do to me. The same as to you, you became my Mum just because you play roles that My Biological Mun could play towadrs me. Inshort I can say that you give me a mother Love.

But I really thank him so much, because he has given Hopes to my Future through his help. Mr.Iddi is a very good Man. I will always thank him for what has been doing to me.

Everything was almost impossible to me in Dar-es-Salaam withiout Him. He is GENEROUS, KIND, TOLERANCE, MERCIFUL & CARING Like you Mum.

But I don't stay with him, I stay a lone. But he thanks me too for willing to teach him English & that he gets more Opportunities of Taxi Job through abit Knowledge of English I have taught him. He has really improved than how he was when I just Met him. He has benefited from me & I have benefited from him. But am the one to thank him so much because has done a lot to me than I have done to him.

That's how Mr.Iddi is my Brother. That's why I don't even think that I was wrong to tell you that he is my Brother. Was I wrong Mum?

Please Mum, Tell me how you feel after this Confession!!. Have I explained well?

MAY GOD BLESS YOU MUM!

AM YOUR SON,
BASHIR!

Hi Mum!

Today I have entered twice in the Internet Cafe, But am so surprised because I didn't get any of your today's Email.
I hope you are fine & everything is okay. May be you are too Busy at work, aren't you?

I would like to tell you that I agree with your Decision of Sending me $150 Monthly.
Yes, This amount is quiet enough for me Mum!! Am so happy with that.

There is nothing I like in my life than Happiness. That is why one day when Our Lecture asked everyone to tell what he/She Likes, Everyone mentioned what he/she thought was good to him/her.
Some said that they like Money, Cars & Expensive Materials.

But when he asked me, I said that I like Happiness & Peace of mind, because there is no way I can enjoy a Car & Luxuries while I lack peace of mind. He praised & told the Class to Crap hands for me.

Just to remind you mum, Am waiting for Antivirus & Study Materials Money.

May God Bless you Mum!

Am your son,
BASHIR!
