This month we have the sweetest little 5 year old girl staying with us who is being treated for Black Fever. Tope, our chairman, went to visit his village for a few days and found our little friend Raju in very serious condition with a swollen belly, sunken in eyes, and jaundice skin. We got her to the hospital just in time last week where she had two blood transfusions.

Our home fellow Safira left this week. I was teary-eyed for a couple days leading up to her departure. Safira has been my left hand (I'm left handed) for the past year. She has been ever-present, patient, loving and a kind, calming, positive force in the children's lives here.

Today we started classes at our women's center! We divided our 65 women into four groups and started them on basic training with the sewing machine. Each class is about 2 and 1/2 hours and we have two lovely and inspiring group leaders and sewing teachers.

It's Saturday morning and the kids are doing a family work project in the side yard. We haven't been able to grow grass because the kids are out there playing 24/7.
