For now, I cannot download the photo of the baby and family who came by today to be enrolled in the milk program.
Baby is Monde - she is 8 months old and has weighed the same since about 4 months ago. Her mom has cancer and has been at UTH (University of Zambia Hospital) for the past month. Monde's dad left the family awhile back and re-married. The eldest daughter - age 19 and 2 other sibs are living with their aunt who is a widow and has about 11 kids in total in her care. The eldest sister, Gertrude, is the chief caregiver for the baby, and as well she trying very hard to complete her education. Aunty is very generous with her time and compassion! They will come monthly for milk for Monde and hopefully, Monde will now gain weight. I advised they get Monde re-tested for HIV and also request to start on Septrin - as she has frequent bouts of diarrhea.
