MULTIPLE DONORS PROVIDE SWEAT SUITS FOR OUR LITTLE ONES

Don and Mary of Michi­gan have spon­sored 7 year old Moma­di since he was a tod­dler. With the “cold sea­son” com­ing, Don and Mary moti­vat­ed fam­i­ly and friends to help us buy com­plete sweat suits (pants and jack­ets) for our 35 lit­tle ones under 7 years of age.

Jane and Paul in Penn­syl­va­nia donat­ed sweat suit jack­ets and pants for the over 7 year olds.

The cold sea­son is com­ing on fast as night time tem­per­a­tures are already low­er than nor­mal and it has been windy. But thanks to our “north­ern friends” in the USA, our chil­dren are out­fit­ted for what­ev­er weath­er comes our way.

THANK YOU TO ALL WHO GAVE SO OUR KIDS CAN STAY WARM THIS COLD SEASON.

MIRACLE TRIPLETS NOW IN 1ST GRADE!

THREE TINY INFANT BOYS were brought to us by 2 female fam­i­ly mem­bers for they need­ed baby for­mu­la and cloth­ing. Each weighed in at about 2kg (4.4 lbs.). Their aunt and grand­moth­er had teamed up to care for them, for it was way too much for any 1 woman. The hus­band aban­doned Mom when he found out she was car­ry­ing 3 babies.

FOR ALL THREE BOYS TO SURVIVE TO SCHOOL AGE IS TRULY A MIRACLE.

We helped them through sev­er­al res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tions as well as oth­er health prob­lems that face frag­ile babies in a rugged envi­ron­ment. Usu­al­ly 1 or more are lost dur­ing the first year.

But GOD watched over these 3 and they are now all doing well in their first year of school.

At 2 years of age, the aunt decid­ed to get mar­ried. Her new hus­band would not accept the boys, so she left these three ram­bunc­tious tod­dlers with the elder­ly grand­moth­er who could not keep up with them. Thank­ful­ly, Granny had a niece (a sin­gle mom with a baby) who lives near our mis­sion sta­tion. Granny and the boys moved in with the niece, and togeth­er they make one big hap­py family.

THE TRIPLETS–Jacobi, Anto­nio, and Ermilin­do (L to R)

Granny adores these lit­tle boys, and we were grate­ful that she had “younger legs” to help keep up with them. Your love gifts pro­vide their needs for Granny who, even at an advanced age, is still farm­ing her fields, but is not able to pro­vide much for them.

The boys help Granny plant and har­vest each year in their lit­tle train­ing field that is behind my house. Every child must learn how to farm if they plan to pro­vide for a fam­i­ly in their adult­hood. THIRTY of our 40 acres at the mis­sion sta­tion is used to teach farm­ing to the old­er orphans who live in our fos­ter houses.
