MICHELLE ADELE TABU

Meet one of our seamstresses working for The Peace Exchange from a recent face to face interview with Michelle in Spring of 2014.  On this visit to Congo our team took time to sit down and do personal interviews with each individual working for our program.  Michelle is one that stood out the most.  This woman walked in with a beautiful smile... yet shared a tragic story and had gone through so much.  In the midst of great strive and pain, she still smiles and has joy.  Inspiring.  May her joy bring reflection as to what is really important in life...

Tabu means “suffering”… which is true to her life.  Living like a street child, Michelle never had the chance to attend school.  After her husband was killed in the war conflict, she was left alone to raise 3 children.  With many health problems and stress, Michelle says her only hope is The Peace Exchange.  She thanks us and our supporters stating that we are a true blessing to her life.  “Coming to The Peace Exchange Sewing Center every day gives me hope for a better future.  Thank you,"  stated Ms. Tabu.
