Bless the children
Hi, we are here.
Here is a photo and some copy for the web site Crop the photo to show the little girl and the doctor...
Habari! (Greetings)
After more than thirty hours of travel we are in Nykato Medical facility in Mwanza, Tanzania. The team is tired and jet-lagged but we are excited to get started. This is a picture of beautiful little albino girl. Albino children in Tanzania are considered "sub human." They are often killed and their body parts are sold off by witchdoctors as talismans to ward off evil spirits. These children are lucky. Their parents have turned them over to a state supported school. But the children are, essentially, imprisoned behind barbed wire. They do not get medical attention and many suffer sight challenges. Our group, thanks to your support, brought these wonderful expressions of God 125 pairs of custom, prescription glasses. We have been here only 10 hours, and already our impact is being felt. More to come. Keep us in your prayers.
