Seeing them grow!




Coming back to Maban after 4 weeks away it was really amazing to see the changes. The programme had really developed and was being taken over by the SIM team and there had been big changes in the children. How exciting to see kids who had been really sick when I left now well, fat and ready to be discharged!
Sebit was the first child we admitted to the nutrition village he had severe oedema on his legs and noticeable wasting on his upper body. Although he is 3 years old he was no longer able to walk by himself and he was very miserable. When I saw him 2 months later he looked like a different boy, healthy and happy. Its exciting to see changes like this and thank God for his care for these children and the opportunity to serve him by looking after them.

Lovely to hear! I'm happy Medair (and with that you guys) could be such a blessing in Doro! We'll continue to pray for the children there. Please do send me this story - with if possible even a bit more content, so we can make it a nice feature!

Thanks again,
Wendy
