One member of the St. Jude Thaddeus Small Christian
Community (SCC) in Musoma, Tanzania has AIDS. She now lives at the nearby
Charity Home run by a Tanzanian priest. She is very thin and cannot walk. The
whole St. Jude Thaddeus SCC takes responsibility for her. When she was too sick
to live at home the SCC arranged for her to move to the Charity Home. On every
First Friday of the month the SCC members visit her bringing food, clothing,
soap and money for her living expenses during the next month. SCC members visit
at other times also to pray with her and encourage her to persevere. There is a
saying used in the outreach of the SCC: "Sharing truly divides the sorrow."
