Home make-over: wonderful TV viewing




A struggling mum lives in a dilapidated commission home with her six children. Life is tough, pleasures are few for her but her kids have one meal a day and all go to school. One day, she comes home from her weekly shopping at Coles and, 'Ô, miracle, Praise the Lord!’ her shack has been transformed into a palace... Unbeknownst to her, her remorseful ex-husband, who now lives in Ecuador, has organised for a TV team of workers to completely revamp her house while she is shopping. A blokey brick layer, an effeminate interior decorator and a Tom-boy-yet-sexy landscape architect have worked out a true 21st century mass media miracle. Walking home with her load of grocery shopping, she can’t believe what she sees while the TV crew, bouncing around the house, shows her what they have done and watch her cry with joy. Meanwhile her six children are doing their homework on their new Freedom Furniture desks.
In the next episode, perhaps her reformed husband will return from Ecuador and rejoin his ex in the brand new IKEA marital bed?
A similar miracle happened to me in my kitchen, today. Thank you Rwandan Television!
