JUMAIDA RECOVERING AFTER MINOR SURGERY
 

Baby Jumai­da just after minor surgery
 
Sat­ur­day night, baby Jumai­da didn’t sleep and cried most of the night due to the pain from the abscess in her shoul­der as it began to “ripen”. The head nurse of the emer­gency room, who is a very fine man, agreed to open the abscess as it was now ready. Once opened, as is usu­al, all pain stopped, and Jumai­da fell asleep instant­ly. Poor thing was total­ly exhaust­ed.

She is just 7 weeks old, but thank­ful­ly, is now on the road to recov­ery. The infec­tion she has is slow­ly being wiped out by the IV antibi­otics that she is receiv­ing. She will remain in the hos­pi­tal until the doc­tors think the infec­tion has been cleared from her blood. This “hand me down sick­ness” from her moth­er has giv­en this sweet baby a rough start in life. 
 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS ASKING FOR A COMPLETE AND RAPID RECOVERY FOR THIS LITTLE ONE.
 
 
FOOD GIVE OUTS BEGIN IN THE REMOTE VILLAGES
 

Our very strong men load­ing our truck with these 132 lb. (60 kg.) bags of beans for vil­lage dis­tri­b­u­tion
 
Mon­day found our team load­ing the 6‑ton and 7‑ton trucks with TONS of corn, beans, plus soap and salt for the orphans and wid­ows liv­ing in the Mavala area. This pro­gram was repeat­ed on Thurs­day in Tuaune (Ti-whan­ny) vil­lage, and Fri­day in Kwe Kwe vil­lage.

The corn har­vest was lim­it­ed this year, so we pur­chased addi­tion­al tons of the very nutri­tious, local­ly grown rice to make up the dif­fer­ence. After the August give-out, the orphans will receive bags of nutri­tious rice instead of corn. Rice is con­sid­ered a treat in this cul­ture, so this will bring smiles to many faces.


Super bal­anc­ing act does not go unno­ticed in our first give-out Tues­day
 
Enjoy the pho­tos, as it clear­ly shows how grate­ful the orphans and their grannies are to receive our help­ing hand.
 

Granny spilled her beans and is mak­ing sure that all of it gets back in her bag. Food is super pre­cious to these peo­ple as they are the poor­est of the poor
 

Orphans help­ing grand­ma divide up the food they wil take home
