WEE LITTLE ONES NEED YOUR PRAYERS 
 
Baby Susana is doing slight­ly bet­ter after her blood trans­fu­sion 2 days ago. The malar­ia she con­tract­ed in her home vil­lage caus­es a delayed ane­mia, as the amoe­ba destroys red blood cells before the treat­ment can kill it out. Her blood tests still reveal an infec­tion, so she will remain in hos­pi­tal until that is erad­i­cat­ed.

Each Thurs­day is when all 26 infants in our baby for­mu­la pro­gram come in to be weighed, and receive their for­mu­la. The tiny twin girls, received last week weigh­ing only 1.9kg EACH had lost 1 lb. Or 500gms EACH in 7 days! The moth­er is hand­i­capped with only 1 hand, and lat­er found to be severe­ly anaemic (hos­pi­tal test showed hemo­glo­bin of 3!), so her Sis­ter was tak­ing care of all of them.
 

Tiny twin girls now in hos­pi­tal with sick moth­er (far right) and Aunt (fore­ground) look after them.​
 
We rushed all 3 to the hos­pi­tal along with anoth­er very ane­mic infant boy who has only his father car­ing for him. All were admit­ted, and blood was arranged for the twin’s moth­er. One of the twins has an infec­tion and is receiv­ing IV antibi­otics also.
 
The ane­mic baby boy has malar­ia, and is receiv­ing treat­ment. How­ev­er he has O‑negative blood, which is very rare. His hemo­glo­bin is 4.4!
 
Only 2 peo­ple in our Dis­trict of over 130,000 are known to have    O‑negative blood. Nei­ther of these peo­ple can con­tribute at the moment as they gave recent­ly. 
 
This lit­tle one needs a Jesus trans­fu­sion!
 
Please keep them all in prayer, and I will update you next week.
 
 
RICE IN THE BARN
 
Our team did a mar­velous job of fill­ing our rice ware­house with 16.5 tons of rice this week. When rice comes direct­ly from the field and is left in its hull (unprocessed), God’s nat­ur­al shell keeps it safe from all bugs.
 
Our barns are full, offi­cial­ly clos­ing our food buy­ing for 2021.
 
THANKS TO ALL OUR DONORS WHO MADE THIS POSSIBLE SO ORPHANS IN 2 DISTRICTS/COUNTIES, will have nutri­tious food for the next 12 months.
 
 
ORPHAN HOUSE #7 IN FINAL STAGES
 
Paint­ing has begun for the lunchroom/kitchen as well as the bath­rooms. Our car­pen­ters are com­plet­ing the roof over the clothes wash­ing area as I write. Just the side­walks, kitchen sink, and toi­lets are left to install once the paint­ing is com­plete.
