This past week there was a little girl at the care point, Bhobokazi, named Nokwethu had sores all over her little body. Even her butt was covered. I see this often, and it’s often caused by worms infestation or scabies, but her case was extreme. So Kate, my leader, picked her up from the care point and we took her to a pharmacy, and the doctor perscribed her an anti biotic and some other medicines. Her cousin, Simphiwe, who is about 14 also came with us to help her feel more comfortable. We took them to KFC (which is a really big dealhere!) for their first time! They also came over to our house for just an hour or so and Simphiwe got to takeher first shower! Maybe we should soak that in, that this girl who is 14 years old, has never seen running water inside a house… she has never eaten at a fast food resturaunt. And she’s only one of many many children like that.
It’s not sad for her, I think it’s sad for us, the western world… myself included.
I can’t believe how the days are just dwindling down with my time left. I’m very excited to return home and to testify to what the Lord has done!
