photos - various children

Jonel Colo is a cute little boy. He tries to focus his eyes but the pressure on his brain causes them to "sundown".

I gave his mother some antibiotic cream to put on his head sores. His prognosis doesn't look good. He will be at the hydrocephalus evaluations on March 27th when the team from Miami arrives. Keep his mother in prayer. She has a difficult task in looking after him but she loves him.

I went to Bernard Mevs Hospital on Friday and picked up Rose Taina, her mother and Rose's 15 year old sister. Sister Genevieve had asked me to help find a place that would take in Rose. Both Rose and her mother are positive for HIV. The mother is in the HIV treatment program at Bernard Mevs Hospital.

Rose is now staying at Dorothy's mission, Faith, Hope, Love Infant Rescue. She is 21 months old and only weighs 10 pounds. She is currently being tube fed because she doesn't want to eat or drink. Keep Rose in prayer that she could get stronger and be able to get onto the HIV treatment program at Nos Petitis Freres et Soeurs Children Hospital.

The last visitors here left a kite for the children and they were eager to try it out. Kite flying is a favorite past time for young boys here in Haiti. The children used the roof to launch the kite.
