Dalene Joubert wrote, 'We get wonderful feedback from the field, such as the following: -
"Thank you for the cassettes, books and cassette players you sent us. Now I want to report to you how I have been using these and how effective they are in people's lives.

Our contact man sought a time when the Kirfi helpers could come to our office in Jos. They agreed, on the condition that we could assure them that their voices would not be recognised on the tapes.
