TWO INFANTS JOIN OUR MILK FORMULA PROGRAM THIS WEEK  On the 17th, infant boy EDMIRO, just 12 days old, lost his moth­er from post partem com­pli­ca­tions. His fam­i­ly lives 27km/13 miles from our base. His lov­ing grand­moth­er will care for him.

2‑day-old Edmiro receives a full tum­my of milk.

On the 19th, baby girl Neima (Nee-i-mah), born June 1st, was sent to our mis­sion by Social Ser­vices. Her Mom became too ill to nurse and was admit­ted into the Bala­ma Hos­pi­tal. Neima will be cared for by her aunt while her Mom receives treatment.

Baby girl Neima enjoys her first bottle.

YOUR LOVE GIFTS AT WORK, FOR THESE TINY TOTS WOULD NOT SURVIVE WITHOUT INFANT FORMULA.   CARROT MAN MAKES HIS WEEKLY VISIT It is har­vest-time, which means the gar­dens of the local farm­ers are ready for mar­ket. For just pen­nies a car­rot, our chil­dren receive nutri­tious, fresh­ly har­vest­ed car­rots each week for as long as they last.

Car­rot man, far left, helps our staff with count­ing the car­rots he brought for our children.

Your Love Gifts buy 180 carrots/week which are dis­trib­uted imme­di­ate­ly to our chil­dren’s homes. The chil­dren love crunch­ing on these ten­der tid­bits, and we send our thanks to all of you for mak­ing this gift possible.Until next week!
