It is almost 2 weeks, since the last blog update, lots of things have happened since the last writing... We got several new born baby's coming in, all because the mother passed away after the delivery. It is always a sad story, we are happy that we can help the family a bit, to take care of the little one, so the family can mourn and sort themselves out, before the baby comes back to them. Sometimes there are additional problems: the dowry was not paid and the family of the late mother, demands the dowry to be paid. It is good that the baby's are then out of the way, in a safe environment....

They were brought to Amecet, where they are safe and getting food and shelter. Patrick and Noah are their names and they are a handful!!! Very naughty and free, so we have to keep an eye on them, they are everywhere... But we see them adjusting better everyday, listening and not fighting.......

On Friday we went to Doctor's Plaza with Michel. He was operated on August 15 from Osteomyelitis, has been with metal pins in his leg since that time. But all went well. the X-rays showed that the bone was growing again and Friday, Nov. 17 the pins were removed!! On the picture you can see him, sitting in the wheelchair, going to the theatre. The left nurse is one of the three student nurses from Holland who are with us in Amecet. They are working at three places in Soroti during their practicals, In Amecet, in Doctor's Plaza, a private clinic and in a Government clinic. They will stay here for more than 3 months.
