A new addition

........ Just before Mariska came to the gathering on Friday, she had a call from the police to ask if she could pick up another baby. She had already collected one earlier in the week, (Job, a boy 1 month old, abandoned) so she went and got Raghma, a baby girl of two weeks old. She brought her to our place for the evening and asked if we would like to look after her. We were delighted and Raghma is still with us. We don't know how long she will stay here, the boys would like us to keep her, but that would not be fair on her. She is a delightful little dot, who gives lovely smiles and we feel quite priviledged to be able to get our grandparent training with her. Not used to bottle feeding though, it was so much easier to have food on tap as it were.
We had a visit on Saturday from the woman who had looked after her for a few days. She wanted to keep her but her husband said no, so she took her to the police to find a place for her. It appears Raghma's mother died giving birth and the father dumped her in a bush in heavy rain, and this lady found her. The woman was so happy that Raghma has a good home and I'm sure she will continue to visit her. It is really sad that she could not keep her as she certainly loves her and would be able to provide well for her. She was accompanied by one of the policewomen who called NACMU. This was the same police station that our Richard lived at for 6 months, so she was very keen to see Richard, and was simply overjoyed to see him and noticed many changes in him. It took Richard a little time to relax with her. He probably thought she was going to take him back, but he did remember her- she was quite lovely.


So our time has been busy, babies take a lot of looking after, feeding every three hours, washing etc.. BUT WE LOVE IT!!!!
Please continue to pray for us to have the energy to devote to all who are in our care. Timothy has come home this morning with a headache so is sleeping now, he is the third of the boys to have this. It seems to last two to three days then they are alright so hopefully he will be OK tomorrow.
We did receive some mail during the week, thank you to those who have sent letters and parcels, we DO enjoy getting mail.





Our wee angel. Please pray for her as she settles into Noah's Ark










This is Rebecca who came to our rescue when we got delayed in Kampala. We see her regularly for cups of real coffee-she arrived complete with coffee plunger and different types of coffee. She has no jug so comes to our home each day for her daily fix! Warwick does not mind at all!!
