Loving the
Children Doesn't Stop When They Leave!
Today our
team was blessed by experiencing a special monthly event at the Malnutrition
Center. The family of each sponsored
child who has gone home from the Center gets to return and receive about 40
pounds of food to help supplement the child’s diet. One basket includes:
5 lbs rice
5 lbs beans
5 lbs oatmeal
5 lbs of
sugar
Cooking oil
Tomato sauce
Mixed pastas
Cereal
Soup mix
3 dozen eggs (from our own chicken coop!)
Vitamins
Toiletries
An afghan
A knitted cap
Small toys
Before
receiving the food bags each child was weighed, measured and evaluated by the medical staff.
Parents also received training from the Social Worker in
proper hygiene techniques, and everyone heard the Good News that Jesus loves them and has a wonderful plan for their life!
Team members played with and loved on the children.

We even provided haircuts to families who
wanted them.
Forty-two families came by
bus, tuc-tuc, or walked.

| LUIS FERNANDO CAME FOR HIS FIRST VISIT AFTER GOING HOME |
It was quite a
sight watching the women leave with their heavy packages balanced on their
heads!
We promised
you some FIRSTS this week. The very
FIRST sponsored child returned to visit the Center.
One tiny visitor received his very FIRST hair
cut.

| Christ is still very much FIRST in all our hearts as we serve Him in many different ways around the Malnutrition Center. |
