Not sure how to blow - we should practice these things!
We had balloons and gifts and singing! And the chocolate cake was a hit with all - even the visitors who just happened to show up at cake time!
Mapenzi's mom, Veronica died when Mapenzi was 2 weeks old. Veronica was cycling to the clinic to get Mapenzi's BCG (TB vaccine) when she collapsed and died. The 12 year old brother was the only other person with mom and babe at the time. Mapenzi has 4 older brothers ~ so will have to find out where they are staying and how all of them are doing.
Mapenzi has taken her first steps, has definitely bonded with Rose - our full time GAP year student volunteer and has a very spontaneous smile! She giggles and makes some kind of words! Her development is very good - she too just needs to be with family.
