We stop in a village on our way to Menji to check on a water project we’ve initiated. This is also where the medical center is and we search for the baby with the burned hands that we transported here a few days earlier.
Good news—we find her happily breastfeeding with her mama and she looks so much better! She is receiving antibiotics to control the infection as well as medication to manage the pain. Her hands have been cleaned and sanitized and she looks healthy and content.
Here is proof that people’s lives can be changed, even saved, when proper medical attention is within reach.

It is wonderful that you got to see the good first hand. You have probably saved this girls life, in a matter of a few days everything is so much better than it would have been, had you not been there. Kudos to you. Keep up the great work. Wish we were there too!

Just delighted. Such wonderful news. AND immediate confirmation that you are making a difference before you’ve even left the country. Thank God you are who you are>
What an answer to prayer. It is amazing how much you are accomplishing on your trip.
I sighed a big relief to read this blog post. I felt just sick for that little girl, I know what it feels like to burn a tiny spot on my finger, let alone entire hands of a baby. You are wonderful to have helped this baby! She will have a better life because of you!
