This Baby Needs Your Help

Hello friends,

For over a month now I have been coordinating efforts to save this little girl (on the right, in the pink) from losing more weight. She had been losing weight due to having wounds in her mouth.  She could not eat, and she has lost most of her teeth.  Some of her teeth had broken off and she had early dental issues. Her parents took so long to get her to hospital for one reason or another.

I met this little one and her mother in one of the medical camps that we held at the slums.  Her mother brought her and she was weak and emaciated.  She had been unable to eat for days and had wounds all over her mouth.  I took her to one hospital and helped her for about a month with her medical needs.

This is the slum area.  When you live in poverty with little water, food or sanitation, it is hard to stay healthy.

This week was a success for me.  The little girl (in the pink) is able to walk, run and smile.  She is able to eat!  This is miraculous.

It will take awhile yet for the child's blood count to strengthen before she can get surgery. She will also need special teeth to help her eat.  The mama is so happy to have help for her little girl.

What we need: prayer and a possible donor for mouth reconstruction surgery and artificial teeth. The long brown elongated one's (teeth) will be removed. Also, food to keep her healthy...in terms of milk & school. That is a lot we know, but God can talk through other people. Pray for this girl. She seems so bright. She draws with very little teaching from any quarter.

Buying some food for the family.

Last Update From Turkana

Hello friends,

This is my last update about the Turkana relief effort.

We had a great time in Turkana serving the people there with our love and gifts.

In total we distributed 90,000 kg of corn/maize and 20,000 kg of beans.

We are so much grateful to God for making this possible.

 

Today we visited AGC Lokichar Secondary School. This school gave us lots of hope because it is doing so well. It is the best performing school in Turkana, and yet it is also situated in a famine stricken area. This brought a lot of hope for us as we left the land of Turkana.

Keep praying for this school. 

Several of their students were "A" students last year and yet they don't even have a functioning lab or even some of the other amenities.

Many thanks and please enjoy the pics.

More Photos of the Turkana Relief Effort

Hello,


Thank you so much for following our updates from here in Turkana country in northern Kenya where we are bringing much needed food relief to the people.

The vehicle gets stuck in the fine sand.

There are many people gathered for the food distribution. There are lots of children in the group.

I am so glad that you are praying for us.

Tomorrow will be our last day to visit this place and distribute the food before returning home.

The women and girls adorn themselves with many necklaces.

I'm holding one of the stools that Turkana men carry. They use it to sit on or to put their head on when they go to sleep.

Tonight it is so hot here that I am contemplating whether to sleep inside or
outside the house where I am staying.

Some of our team members  who are mostly university students have opted to sleep in the open. Thank God there is a moon to show the way.

Otherwise enjoy the pics and continue to pray for our work and our journey.

This is the dirty water that the Turkana people have to drink. We have brought them some water but they really need good clean water. How wonderful it would be if they had a proper well.

Relief Effort to Northern Kenya

Hello friends,

This morning, along with other partners, Missions of Hope was able to flag off 5 lorries (large transport trucks) full of supplies to be taken to the northern parts of Kenya.

It is such a joy to see that our dear ones in the north are going to get support in terms of much needed food and water.

Please pray with us as we journey to this part of Kenya where the people have great need of everything.

Along our journey we managed as well to visit the Kerio Valley where we had a great look out over the valley. What a sizzling look we had.

Enjoy the pics!
