Well yesterday we distributed food to our orphans in our sponsorship program. Serge, our project manager had all the orphans to the office and handed out the food to them and their respective surrogate families. It was an incredible time. Serge said the gratitude of the orphans and their surrogate families was overwhelming and that the children were so grateful to their sponsors. We provided all the essentials for a healthy diet including rice, milk, soja (which is soy product with a lot of nutritional value) oil, soap etc etc. along with critical meds for malaria andstomach meds that rid the body of parasites, bacteria etc. Next Tuesday, we have an appointment with the hospital for medical check ups of all our orphans. In most cases, this will be the first time they have ever been to the doctor. We will be given a medical card for each child so we can identify ailments, issues etc. This will provide a good baseline so we can accurately know how to monitor and handle each child's medical conditions on their regularly scheduled medical appointments going forward. On a personal note, those of you who are sponsoring 1 of these 22 orphans are so awesome. You have no idea the impact you are having in their lives. Literally, you are giving them a chance at success. I love that. If anyone is interested in adopting, please let us know. Unfortunately, we have lists of kids that need help.
