BABIES ANCHA AND ELSA:
 
On Thurs­day this week I vis­it­ed House # 7 to find baby ANCHA start­ing to walk! The video shows Ancha in the act along with baby Elsa who has been walk­ing for sev­er­al weeks now. Baby Elsa is 1 day YOUNGER than Baby Ancha. Read on and you will real­ize why all of us are so excit­ed that Ancha is walk­ing.

ANCHA’S STORY: BABY ANCHA, born March 6, 2022, had a real­ly rough start in life. Hos­pi­tal­ized in August 2022 with 4 dis­eases that would kill most babies, and weigh­ing only 3.6kg/8 lbs., 5‑month-old Ancha was in crit­i­cal con­di­tion. WE WEREN’T SURE SHE WOULD LIVE, AND NOW WE PRAISE THE LORD THAT SHE IS WALKING AT 14.5 MONTHS! With such a rough start, Ancha showed all of us how impor­tant prayer, tons of love and care, and a high pro­tein diet opens the door so the Lord’s heal­ing touch can work over­time!
 
TO CLARIFY, HERE’S THE FACTS:
Ancha is 1 day old­er than Elsa. Ancha was still at her birth weight when she was 5 months old, and had to over­come 4 dis­eases to sur­vive. TODAY’S WEIGHT: 7.7kg/17 lbs.! Elsa was orphaned at 12 days, but was nev­er mal­nour­ished. She was born at 3.3kg/7.2 lbs. and TODAY’S WEIGHT:  7.4 kg/16.24 lbs. ANCHA IS AN OVERCOMER!
 

FIRST SWEET POTATOES FOR THE TODDLERS!
 
Chebany and Jul­ho, both 3 years old, came over to show me their boiled sweet pota­toes!

The 2023 sweet pota­to har­vest was just com­plet­ed, which excites all the chil­dren who knows what they taste like. Sweet pota­toes are eat­en here as a break­fast food, for it is pow­er packed with ener­gy that stays with you for sev­er­al hours. Great for those chil­dren who have to eat and run off to school at 6 a.m.! 
 
Fran­ciano, who is 18 months old, doesn’t under­stand what all the excite­ment is about, as he has nev­er tast­ed sweet pota­toes.
 

Fran­ciano won­der­ing what all the fuss is about!
 
I couldn’t hang around today, but am sure his fos­ter moth­er gave him a taste when their pota­toes came off the fire. 

It is a priv­i­lege to get to open the eyes of a child to the bless­ings the Lord pro­vides!
 
YOUR LOVE GIFTS ARE LIFE TO THESE CHILDREN.
OUR STAFF CAN’T THANK YOU ENOUGH FOR ALLOWING US TO BE THE HANDS AND FEET OF JESUS EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR.
IT IS AN HONOR THAT BLESSES ALL OF US, FOR WE GET TO SHARE THE LOVE OF JESUS WITH HIS LITTLE ONES AS THEY GROW.
 
BLESSINGS,
