Church and malnourished twins

The day started with service at The Family Church, where we in particular had a visit from a reggae-singer, who gave a few songs to the delight of the congregation.

Hope and Mama Rose.

In the afternoon Ida and Ruth drove out in the bush in Kamuzinda with Ronald and Pontiano. Yesterday Ida met some grandparents in the Swedish soup kitchen, who took care of their grandchildren, four months old twins, which looked very malnourished. Which is why, we drove out to the family, so we could find out what we could do to help them. Luckily, we found the mother with the children and the grandparents, which was very positive. But the kids were so small that even the clothes for premature babies was to big. But even worse was that the smallest baby, weighing nearly 2.3 kg had some nasty wounds on his neck and was dehydrated. So after a little chat and an attempt to give the babies bottle we went to a doctor in the local area, who recommended that we drove them to the hospital, so the mother could be hospitalized with the kids. So we did, so now they are admitted to the Department of malnourished children where they will be followed closely.

Mama Nalonge as your name become when you are a mother of twins, with the boys having the classic twin names Waswa and Kato

We will do what we can to help this mother and her twins for the foreseeable future, the mother is young and obviously in need of support and encouragement. Write to us if you have the heart to help with a lump sum or perhaps a sponsorship (although we do not know how long we have contact with the children, but presumably until they are vigorous).
