Burglary at HINT

September 19, 2010 by hint Leave a Comment

When we walked in to HINT’s office on Wednesday morning (Sept 1, 2010), we realised that thieves had broken in to the centre the previous night.

A quick check revealed that they went away with money and equipment estimated at xaf 4,427,000 (about usd 8,640).

Very unfortunately, my personal laptop with over 50GB of information and other private data is gone together with an external 250GB of storage space I was using for backup.

We alerted the police, though they seem helpless themselves, complaining to us about their lack of staff and resources as we complained to them. You know there’s little or nothing they can do. Rather I believe some how, God will help us resurrect again. We have been closed since then as most of the equipment was carried away.

We would like to continue with our work but that would be difficult without support from elsewhere.

At this time, I do request that you pray for us to be able to recover from the loss and that some how, God will turn the loss into gain. Praise God with us that they took things away, not our lives. It is difficult to take it when investments made over several years disappear overnight.

Thank you for your prayers at this difficult time.
