Greetings. We arrived home last night from three wonderful nights away. We had a marvellous time in Entebbe which we will write about in another blog. However this morning we received the sad news that baby Peace had passed away at 4am. She had been in hospital since Wednesday and was simply unable to fight any longer and she slipped away. The good news was that her mother had been released by the court and has come to work at NACMU so she was with her when she died. Peace was laid to rest this afternoon at 2pm in a moving ceremony at the compound. There is a grave site here for the babies who die, it is nice that they are together.
Please pray for her mother, Jessica, that she may settle to work here, her son Godfrey was so overjoyed to see his mother when she arrived here and we feel that God's hand is on the whole situation, Peace had been struggling with feeding from an early stage so we know that now she is at peace. Please also pray for Mariska and especially for Renske who both did their utmost to help her, they are feeling the loss.
It has been a sad day.

Dear Warrick, Marilyn and baboon boys,
ReplyDeletesince 3 days I found the piece of paper back with your adresses on it. And since sunday I received your letter Joshua. Good to read how you all are doing, beatiful that you can take care of Raghma. What a sad news that Peace passed away, for you adults and also especially the children. How are the boys by this situation?
I guess it's about time Piet and Pita will come back so everything and everybody can settle back again?
Kind regards and our love to you all!! Douglas, Selma , Damey and Luc (Owen,your drawing is still in Luc his room! Joshua, thanks for updating us on the boys in your letter, so cool, THANKS AGAIN!!!)
