Yesterday Hawa came to live with us; she is almost three years old and weighs 9 kilogram. She is extremely malnourished and she is HIV positive. Her mother Felizmina is 20 years old and has three children. The oldest one is 5 years old and the brother of Hawa is a year and two months old. The husband of Felizmina died of AIDS and she is also HIV positive. We decided to take in Hawa, because she is really struggling with her health, while the other two children seems much healthier. We are going to provide food for the mother to take care of the other two children. Please pray for Felizmina, for strength so that she can take care of the other two children.
Our jewelry project is going well. Today Felizmina joined Maria for training. We hope to sell the jewelry they make so that they can have an income. Felizmina and Maria are enjoying it so much and you can see that they have new purpose.
Tears of joy flowed from the eyes of Grandmother when she saw running water coming from the tap. It is the first time in her life that she has running water at home. It is such a blessing to see that something so small can bring such joy. Thank you for making this possible!
God is so faithful in providing for our small but growing family here in Mozambique. We are so grateful for your prayers and support. This Sunday we celebrate children’s day here in Mozambique. Please pray for the children of this nation, there are many more that need our help.(Photo’s Hawa and Maria)
