If a picture says 1,000 words, then I needn’t say anything. Can you believe this girl is almost two and a half years old? Her Muslim mother wears about a size 14 (American), while her helpless child’s body swims in baby clothes. She weighs a mere 6 kg. They came into Faith Alive today and Nurse Caroline started them on a regimen of vitamin-fortified penaut butter. Within a month, if her mother follows all the instructions, the girl should be back to life. Praise God that neither of them is HIV+, and that soon there will be 'after' photo opportunities.
It’s difficult not to judge the mother, who slapped the back of the girl’s head when she uttered a weak cry. With God’s grace I’ll follow Jane’s motto: ‘Not what came before but what next to do.’ In the meantime, I have a headache.
