Sofonie!

Sophonie and her mom…                               Enjoying Sofonie’s company!

I was driving away from the village and I heard someone yell out to me. I turned to see our friend motioning me to stop. So I pulled to the side of the bumpy dirt road and waited while this woman excitedly ran to the truck. It was the mom we spoke of in a previous post who had a sick little baby girl (see https://www.projectnourish.org/blog/?p=323 ).  We had visited a few times during the week and she knew we’d be leaving soon. As she approached I saw that she was holding a paper in her hand. She handed it to me…on it was written the name of her little girl. It was so touching that she wanted me to have it as she passed it to me with a big smile. The picture on the above left was taken from behind the steering wheel as she stood outside the car door.  The picture on the right is in their house…oh…I should say their NEW house! Yes, we were able to make her a recipient of one of the new houses! Project Nourish is so pleased to have been able to provide this family a shelter from the elements!

This week we also brought some infant cereal for her and some other babies as well. This will provide a little temporary nourishment vital for survival. We were also able to pass along some infant clothing and shoes. We are so appreciative to pass along these blessings that someone so generously donated. Maybe you’ll be the hands passing things like this out on one of our trips in the near future!

Sofonie’s happy mom handed me this!
