So I am packing up and getting ready to head to Tanzania. First we will be camping overnight at the Nile and rafting. Then we have about a thirty hour bus ride over African roads. This means a super bumpy ride. My teammates are planning out their sleep meds to take. Pray for everyone to be safe rafting an traveling.
Samali was taken with the social worker to her new home. This is like and orphanage for babies between one day and three years old. They try to get the babies adopted from here. This home does great work in saving babies. They can’t save them all and they can’t do it alone. I was reading a story of one baby they had recently. She was abandoned in a garden. Left for who knows how long, when she was found she was so cold and had many bug bites. She died soon after. The nurses at the home still offered her comfort and love for the short time she had left on this earth. They do what they can. The orphan situation in this country is bad.
Alex, Ginger, and I were able to go back to Sanyu Baby Home in Kampala yesterday and visit Samali. This was fun to see her in her new home. She looked more healthy and cleaner then I’ve ever seen her. She has the sweetest, calm personality. Her hair looks like a little fluffy mohawk. It was good to be able to visit, hold, and pray over her. There were babies everywhere. It was heaven to us. Samali and all these little babies still need permanent families.
If you want more information about how to volunteer at this home or adopt from this home, let me know!
