I think if Malaki could speak at this point... he would inform us that his teeth simply hurt...! His top tooth had broken through those nice rosy gums. It has been so nice to have him around the kids, and the kids loving on him. Really. They care for him! .
Today, we did some minor medical checkups weighing and measuring the children so we can keep track of their growth... and to make sure they are growing. Our 7 year old Vernist is severely malnutritioned. Having similar marks to our 3 year old... who is also a little malnutritioned. We are on the road to health, together. There is a wonderful doctor in the US who has been donating vitamins for the children for quite some time now; surly these will make a difference along with eating good meals.

As for the children, I can say its destiny... they love soccer! I plan at some point to bring them to the big stadium so they can watch the "big boys" play. They are so grateful to God for their beds and for food. Singing and always saying in Kirundi "Praise the Lord!" They are a true testimony of a miracle of God, and they are simply grateful. Got to get going, today we are going to buy some uniforms and clothing for them! Can't wait to see the looks on their faces when we give them a few new pieces of clothing; all but one child only had one outfit and no shoes or sandals. All our love....
