Osheo, now 13 months, is one of the babies on the milk program. Her mom has health problems as well as social problems. Her husband left her with the 7 children many months ago - and she thinks likely it is for another wife. Mom breastfed Osheo for 6 months and even though the Zambian Government advises sick moms to breastfeed for up to 2 years, mom was just too fragile and sick to continue breastfeeding. So, your donations have made it possible for Osheo to continue to drink Lactogen - a milk formula. She is growing and is very healthy, except..
as you can see Osheo has Down's Syndrome and in this rural part of this developing nation there is no "therapy" for her. I taught mom how to do "tummy time" with Osheo a few months back and now Osheo is sitting independently.
They are very grateful for your donations. We praise God for this mom's strength, resilience, her faith in God and her gratefulness.
