Buried alive.........

This morning, Simon got a phone call from the Police; a baby was found, buried alive!!! Elias and Simon drove to the village and and found the Police and other people gathered together in a certain home. The baby was found in their maize field. Last night, around 9.30 pm, they had heard a baby crying. They got concerned and went to the local leader, together they went to see what had happened, they were thinking about children sacrifice. which still happen in secret places. It is really amazing, that in that big field, they came across the place where it looked if someone has been digging there. Carefully they tried with a hoe...and they found the a new born baby, buried alive..... They later saw the evidence that the mother gave birth there and dug the hole and buried the baby with the placenta.
The Police is investigating, because this is a criminal act. The people of the home nearby, cared for the baby during the night, but now the baby was handed over to Amecet.

We checked the baby, there are some little wounds, but it is a miracle that she is alive!! Being completely covered with soil!! The weight of the baby is just 2 kg. We took her directly to the doctor, because of the dirty place where she has been in, she was in need of  medical attention.
After medicines, a bottle, a bath and warm clothes she is sleeping peacefully. The people named her Asianut Helen, Asianut means Grace in the local language Atesso. God must have Grace  upon this little girl..... What a way to enter this world!! But God's grace is upon her, she is alive and cared for!!
