FRANCIANO GOES BACK TO HOSPITAL ON MONDAY
 
Fran­ciano awoke Mon­day with a fever and trou­ble tak­ing his bot­tle due to an upper res­pi­ra­to­ry infec­tion.   I was called imme­di­ate­ly by the Head Moth­er at House #7, so our staff wast­ed no time get­ting him to the hos­pi­tal.   He is much improved, but is still on IV antibi­otics till pos­si­bly Fri­day.
 

Fos­ter Moth­er Este­fa­nia and Fran­ciano must con­tin­ue their stay as of Wednes­day.
 
BABY ANCHA is his “roomy” in the open 10 bed Pedi­atric Ward at the Bala­ma Hos­pi­tal.
Ancha has com­plet­ed her 5 day malar­ia treat­ment, but her lab tests revealed to the Doc­tors that she also had a blood infec­tion which extend­ed her stay until Wednes­day this week.  We are very hap­py to have her at home now.

Fos­ter Moth­er Cecelia and Ancha were released from hos­pi­tal on Wednes­day. PTL!
 
HIGH RISK BABIES who are super mal­nour­ished have lit­tle immu­ni­ty.
Fran­ciano and Ancha are in this group, as they remain very frag­ile and pick up sick­ness­es very eas­i­ly.  Even with iso­la­tion from the oth­er infants at our 2 “infant” homes, these lit­tle ones still man­age to get sick, no mat­ter how many pre­cau­tions we take. Keep them in prayer, as both of them are doing bet­ter, but need the immu­ni­ty that only God can pro­vide.
 
VEGGIES FOR EVERYONE!
 
Two weeks ago, I had a meet­ing with the Dis­trict Admin­is­tra­tor and so did a man named Richard, who is the own­er of RW Macham­bas (farm­ing fields) in Mon­tepuez. Richard and I hit it off, and he dropped by to see our pro­gram that very day.    Richard of Zim­bab­we and his wife, Car­o­line, along with 2 Amer­i­cans (Tots and Dan), have devel­oped a veg­etable and fruit out­let that includes frozen chick­ens and eggs!  All are Chris­tians, and love help­ing out the mis­sion­ar­ies liv­ing in Bala­ma and Mon­tepuez. 
 

The Chris­t­ian Team that made the veg­gies pos­si­ble. L. to R. Tots, Dan, BBB, Richard, and Car­o­line.
 
We pur­chased our first order of good­ies from them on Sept. 3rd and the chil­dren were delight­ed to get ALL ORGANIC veg­gies and fruits to eat!  A friend of mine in Bala­ma has allowed me to put the ministry’s small chest freez­er at his place, so that the chil­dren can get frozen chick­ens also!  This will be a once a month treat at this time, and we are all very grate­ful for it.  God always makes a way.
It was just a month ago that I asked the Lord how we could get veg­eta­bles and fruits all year round for our chil­dren.  Fresh fruits and veg­gies are only avail­able a few months of the year in Bala­ma.
 

7 box­es of fresh fruit and veg­gies arrive for our 7 chil­dren’s homes.
 
Meet­ing Richard was most cer­tain­ly the answer to that prayer!
 
ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE!  GOD ALWAYS AMAZES ME AT HOW HE PROVIDES.
