It was towards the end of last year 2009 when we had some prayers at our working place Cheshire Home Mongu, we learned about this wonderful and God’s chosen woman. We started the group Friends of Nano on 29th January 2010. Since then we meet twice a month on every second and fourth Saturday of the month.

Nano Nagle’s life has changed us and has touched us in many ways. We have come to learn that here on earth we should love one another, share and give generously. Each time we kneel down to talk to God we feel He is watching over us. It is not easy to follow her life but it is so easy to learn and understand what kind of a blessed woman she was.

The most important thing we have experienced since we joined the group is to feel the need for the spirit of God. We are here on earth because of the love of God and are here not for ourselves but for others. It is good to give than to receive, for blessed is the hand that gives.

When we started, the group was very big but now we are just a few. So we are asking for prayers from all over the world where friends of Nano Nagle are, to always keep us in your prayers, so that we can be strong and carry on her work. For generations to generations the good work of Nano Nagle should go on.

We thank God for choosing Nano Nagle. We believe that her life has not only changed us but many others. 
 

Reflection by Mary Mbangu, Cheshire Home, Mongu
 

This is an attempt to highlight about my own life since I joined the group of Friends of Nano Nagle.  After reading and understanding the life history of Nano Nagle, I was touched and felt inspired to join the group as her friend.

During our meetings we read, reflect and share on Bible passages, life of Nano and pray together.  I am touched by Nano’s life of kindness and mercy and her special love for the vulnerable people especially girl children and their right to access education.

My life has changed in many ways and I feel called to:-

• Loving people especially vulnerable
• Giving knowledge and material help to the needy
• Accessing education for the vulnerable children

I am happy to say that I have enabled 3 girl children to go to school.  They are in grade 4, 5 and 8.  I also have learned to spend time in prayer acknowledging my Creator.  My life has changed completely ever since I joined the group Friends of Nano.  Some people have nick named me as Good Samaritan as I keep sharing my knowledge with others.
