Anita examined some of the children we met on our way through the village. This baby has a heart problem.

The baby is 10 months old but is the size of a one month old. Due to the heart problem all the energy is used by the heart to keep pumping and the baby is not able to grow.

This 3 year old girl is sick and malnourished. I am going to try and find an orphanage that can help her before she gets worse.

This is Remika and her grandmother. She is back with her family after being cared for by Holy Angels for several months. We were checking up on her to see how she was doing and she is doing well! Having proper nutrition is a blessing for a baby.
Here is Remika at 7 months of age a few months ago. She was malnourished due to her mother dying after an infection and the grandmother not being able to provide for her needs.
