The Sr Trifa appeal for her “angels” If you are outside the UK it is cheaper to use Western Union or even the cheaper mall transfer merchants.

Secondary school education is very expensive in Kenya and “every penny, cent or money of any kind” will help. Sr Trifa will personally acknowledge any help you can give her.

It was then that she was convinced where her future lay. As a child, she was exceptionally devout. The same could never be said about Kenyan Sr. Trifa De Souza. As a child she was ne...
