Dina was enrolled in the local primary school, but due to poor health was forced to drop out and so was never able to read and
write.

• In 2010 she joined the local Anglican Church. When a GB Company began, Dina soon became a keen member. Although she could not read or write, she was welcomed and able to join in all the activities. Dina received Jesus as her Saviour and was baptised.

• In 2013 she was accepted as a student at the Girls’ Brigade Sewing and Handcraft Centre in Bunda. It was a wonderful opportunity for Dina to be part of a school community. She showed aptitude for sewing and developed her skills there as well as improving her reading and writing ability and growing in her faith in Jesus.

• Dina is thankful to God for the way GB has transformed her life, helped her grow in her faith and stand firm in Jesus, given her an education, an income generating business, a ministry in the GB Company in her church and prepared her for marriage to Yohana, who also loves the Lord Jesus.
