Ten years ago, a woman gave birth to a baby girl in a chilly shack to her utter surprise. She didn't know she was pregnant because she was so busy foraging for food to feed her sick twins who soon died of H.I.V. This mother realized she could not feed her her new infant because she had no milk because of malnutrition and A.I.D.S. This baby was named Mampho. Mampho was given to neighbors when her mother passed. Unfortunately, she was not wanted by them because little Mampho was not "blood". Some villagers whispered about her saying she was a devil carrier because all of her family died except her. Mampho often wished for death as she was continually sick and rejected by the villagers. Every night, she thought about the hell she was living and her heart hurt so bad.
One day a white woman came into live in the village. This woman talked to Mampho about Jesus Christ and gave Mampho her first hug. Mampho found she could now eat and not be scared. It was a relief for her to also meet other girls who were in the same position as she was. For the first time, Mampho knew she wasn't bad, she was normal and she did fit into this world. Now Mampho wants to live, love, learn and acheive great things. She know that God has created her for a special purpose. She has learned that she has a long string connecting her to Jesus, and she knows God is in her heart so she never needs to be afraid again. She NOW FEELS like a Queen!
