Further to the article you published regarding the “Jehovah’s Witnesses Convention” recently, you may find newsworthy the baptism of Mpho Makombe from Brackendowns.
Mpho suffered a tragic accident as a four-year-old that left her mentally handicapped. This meant that she was unable to be schooled or interact with her peers as other youngsters would.
Special schooling was sought for her by her parents at Japari Special School and then Destinata Special Needs School, which over time and much great effort improved her condition to such a degree that she was able to have a personal Bible Study and finally get baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses, with who she now regularly worships and socializes.
Mpho was able to make the decision to get baptized on her own accord and without assistance, having a firm conviction of her beliefs and now regularly shares these with others she comes across.
I believe that this could serve as an inspiration to other parents of handicapped children to never give up, put forth whatever effort it takes and seek out the necessary training and schooling for their children to succeed.
