Finding Malu: The People and Program Behind a Red Cross Reunification
Franck Mputu Beya instantly recognized the voice on the other end of the phone, even though he hadn’t heard it in years.
It was his sister, Malu Anny Beya, calling him from a refugee camp in Zimbabwe to let him know she was alive and well. The phone call this past January to Franck at his Dallas-area home was the first time the siblings had spoken to one another since they fled political violence in the Democratic Republic of the Congo in 2016.
The phone call may never have happened had two members of the Zimbabwean Red Cross not approached Malu one day. They showed her a picture of Franck and let her know he was looking for her. Through the Restoring Family Links program, Red Crossers in the United States, Switzerland and Zimbabwe worked together to find Malu and reconnect her with her brother.

Sickle Cell Warrior Shambrille Fennell is an Inspiration to Others
Shambrille Fennell, originally from Dallas, is a sickle-cell warrior. After suffering a stroke when she was five years old, doctors diagnosed her with sickle cell anemia. She has been battling the blood disease ever since.
She receives monthly blood transfusions to minimize pain crises and has undergone multiple surgeries to place and remove ports that help with medication and transfusions.
Despite the many complications she continues to endure — sometimes asking God why she must endure this pain — she does not pity herself or see herself as a victim. Instead, she believes her purpose is to inspire and encourage others.
Ruggles Black, a Houston Paleo & Keto Friendly Restaurant
While the kitchen at Ruggles Black is Chef Molzan’s playground, the dining area is his partner’s canvas. Neera Patidar invited local artist Gino Vian to join her in creating the restaurant’s eclectic interior design, made to delight and inspire their upper Kirby visitors.
Although surprising in many ways, the spicy ethnic atmosphere is yet so versatile: perfect for casual fine dining, late-night eating, cocktails & dancing, and can even accommodate special parties.
