Who knows Margaret (not her real name??)

In our Blog from June 19, I wrote about the tracing of two girls, who were both brought to Amecet by the Police. One of them was picked by the parents, after someone saw the picture and called them. But the other girl is still with us. She must be around 3 years old and at first we thought that she didn't understood Ateso, the local language from here, but she does, we don't know her name, she said something like" Margret", but not really.. We call her now Margaret and she reacts...
She was left behind in a local bar, somewhere in Soroti. So Simon went there to ask about the mother, they didn't know her, she just left her child and disappeared!! The people in the bar said that she mighthave come from Kumi, a town 45 minutes drive from Soroti. 
We have put her in the local newspaper, we did radio calls, nothing, no reaction!
So yesterday, Simon went to Kumi, he went there to the local radio station for radio calls and he has been putting posters on different places in Kumi.




At the hand wash stand from the restaurant....





At the shoe repair shop and the airtime kiosk....













The local hang-out places....













At the public notice board....












At the bicycle taxi stand.....







At the Health Centre....













We hope and pray that there is some one who knows Margaret and can direct her to her family.....
