2‑DAY-OLD INFANTS EACH RESCUED BY A FAMILY MEMBER Both infant boys from dif­fer­ent fam­i­lies were res­cued by a fam­i­ly mem­ber and brought to us by Social Ser­vices for milk assis­tance. The baby boy in the fore­ground was found in the bush by this grand­moth­er, after her men­tal­ly defi­cient daugh­ter (who was raped), had the infant on her own. The daugh­ter had run away and hid in the bush when she felt the labor pains begin. It is a mir­a­cle the infant survived.The 2‑day-old infant in the back­ground is an orphan, res­cued by the aunt after the moth­er passed away just after giv­ing birth in her mud hut.

2 infants just 2 days old join our infant for­mu­la program

Nei­ther of these lit­tle boys received the essen­tial colostrum milk from their moth­ers that pro­vides them with immu­ni­ty. Our children’s Direc­tor, Anna gave them instruc­tions on how to bot­tle feed the infants. We are pray­ing they both make it. BCI BANK CELEBRATES 30TH ANNIVERSARY BY GIVING BALLS TO OUR CHILDREN It was fun watch­ing the children’s faces as the 4‑member bank team pulled out box­es full of balls that they gift­ed to our chil­dren. The bank’s pump broke, so they only blew up 11 of the 25 balls they gave us, so our staff will take care of that with our ball pump.

Bank brings balls and jump ropes to our chil­dren. They were ecstatic!

MARCELO, 2, LEARNS HOW TO SWING While wait­ing on the bank team to arrive, Marce­lo, who had nev­er been on the swings, found out how much fun it is. Although a bit afraid at first, he decid­ed this was fun, and final­ly had to be asked to leave the swing so that oth­ers could enjoy it.

Marce­lo takes his first swing­ing lessons.
