EXCEPTIONAL FAMILY SHARES THEIR LOVE
 
Wednes­day after­noon a young cou­ple walked in with an orphaned infant need­ing milk. Noth­ing unusu­al about that until we read the Social Ser­vices let­ter. This young cou­ple were doing some­thing few fam­i­ly mem­bers would do. Take in FOUR orphans after the wife’s sis­ter passed away 2 days ago. Usu­al­ly the chil­dren are split up between sev­er­al fam­i­ly mem­bers. 
 

Hid­i­na and her hus­band with orphaned infant named Del­fi­na.
 
Hid­i­na and her hus­band have 3 chil­dren of their own, ages 4, 2, and 3 MONTHS! They are accept­ing respon­si­bil­i­ty for a 6‑week-old infant girl, plus her three sib­lings, ages 4, 7, and 10.
 
We imme­di­ate­ly accept­ed the orphans into our food pro­gram and gave this cou­ple 2 large cook­ing pans. They most cer­tain­ly need all the help they can get, as their fam­i­ly more than dou­bled in 1 day! I asked how they planned to han­dle 2 infants, and they assured me that the grand­moth­er would assist.
 
NOW THAT IS LOVE!
 

Grand­moth­er and Hid­i­na’s hus­band brought Baby Del­fi­na and her 3 sis­ters to receive food on Thurs­day.
 
We will be observ­ing and assist­ing these chil­dren with clothes and oth­er items as this cou­ple will need max­i­mum help with their new “extend­ed” fam­i­ly.
 
Please keep them in prayer. At the moment, all 4 orphans are healthy, just a bit con­fused as to what is going on.
 
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS POSSIBLE. 
 
BUSH BUNNY TIDBITS:
1. HOUSE #6 receives a roof over the sand pit/concrete play area just in time for the rainy sea­son. Now that our infants are all walk­ing, they need­ed a dry place to play for the next 4 months of the rainy sea­son.
 

House #6 gets a roof over their sand­pit and con­crete play area before the rains hit​
 
2. BABY SALVADOR (House #6) is all tuck­ered out after watch­ing the con­struc­tion crew build a roof over his sand­pit. The new portable baby beds I had made are light­weight, and allow our moth­ers to have the chil­dren nap out­side in the shade while they work. Much safer now that these tykes can climb out of bed them­selves!
 

Tod­dler Sal­vador eager­ly watched the build­ing activ­i­ty until he played out, tak­ing a nap on one of the portable baby beds I had made​
 
3.  House #7 infants Fati­ma (now walk­ing) but sit­ting in Fos­ter Moth­er’s lap in pho­to, as well as Babies Gil­da and Susan­na (on right), all look on as Mama Gil­da pre­pares food for lunch. 
 

3 moth­ers from House #7 make good use of the shade tree while prepar­ing food and watch­ing their lit­tle ones.
 
With temps at 97°F/36°C, the shade of a great Man­go Tree is the coolest place around. FYI: Gil­da (11 months) and Susan­na, (7 months), are just now strong enough to sit up alone. A real mile­stone as they were both super tiny at birth. 
 
4. The Christ­mas Chick­ens (30KG/66lbs.) are in our own small chest freez­er (locked), and being ener­gized by elec­tric­i­ty at a near­by friend’s home until the Christ­mas par­ty on Decem­ber 23rd.  Elec­tric­i­ty is com­ing to our homes, hope­ful­ly just after Christ­mas. 
More on that after the hol­i­days. 
 
WE ARE MOST GRATEFUL TO ALL WHO CONTRIBUTED TO THE FABULOUS CHRISTMAS PARTY WE HOPE TO HAVE FOR THE CHILDREN THIS YEAR!
 
YOU ARE ALL SO LOVING AND KIND TO DO THIS FOR OUR CHILDREN. 🤗❤🐇
