This lovely young girl was with us towards the end of 2007. When she came to us she was really sick but we got her started her drugs and she became well enough to be reunited with her family. Last week she was sent back to us because she was very ill again. It seems that her family have defaulted on her drugs and she possibly has a recurrence of TB. She is not doing well. Please pray for her!

This little girl turned 9 last week. She is growing up fast and is already such a lady, graceful and contained.

This little boy turned 3. It’s amazing to see how he is flourishing – although he has CP legs, he still tries to walk, and manages well if he’s got something to hold on to like a Tonka Truck or his special push cart. He’s even able to climb up to the slide. I must admit that we adults hold our breaths until he’s safely back on the ground!

Hospital visit!!!

This little boy is 6 years old and came to us a few days ago but the doctors decided he needed to be hospitalized.

It was my first time to take one of our children to be admitted to hospital. What an experience! I really admire the nurses and doctors who work under these conditions.

The little boy has severe anemia caused by HIV. He also has Kwashiorkor which is caused by severe malnutrition and causes the tissues to swell. So, although he looks quite plump and healthy, that’s fluid and he is critically ill. Please pray for him.

This little girl turned 5 this week.

Farewell!!!

We were very sad to have to say goodbye to Shelley Martin who has been volunteering here at Lambano for the last two months. Shelley went back to the USA on Monday and we will dearly miss her. She has grown to be part of the Lambano family and her loving nature, broad smiles and servant heart were such a blessing to us.

We wish Shelley all of the best for her future plans and pray that our paths will cross again one day, if not on earth then in heaven.

New intakes:

One of the intakes

We have had three new admissions to our Hospice:

We received a 10 year old girl last week but she had to be sent to hospital for intravenous antibiotics.
Our next admission was a 4 year old boy.
Lastly we received a 6 year old boy.

All three of these children are severely malnourished and ill. Please pray for wisdom and strength for the medical staff that are caring for them and a speedy recovery for the children.

We thank God that we have this Hospice so that we can care for these children.
