December 18th


This is Shadrack with 6-yr old daughter Tabitha and 6-month old baby Jedida on her back. Brenda and Patrick are 4 and 9 years old. They lost their wife and mother just after Jedida was born as she lacked food and never regained her strength. It was brought to our attention when Shadrack brought baby Jedida in to our offices. Their little house and garden are behind them. Tabitha makes a great little mother taking care of Jedida and their grandma lives nearby. Grandma tends her garden and grows food for the children. We found their home today very high up in the mountains. Little Jedida has a terrible case of crusty yellow scalp infection covering her entire head. Shadrack will bring her down tomorrow to the dispensary for treatment.

  1. This is great - keep it up. Great that the baby will get some help for the cradle cap.
