After a quick lunch in Dano, the grown ups headed out to see ministry in action. The kids stayed home to watch a movie while we headed out to see some infants.
This sweet doll's mother died in childbirth. She was brought in by a grandmother. She was so tiny! We received news the next day that this poor baby had died in the night. So sad! I cannot even imagaine. Did you know in Burkina they don't even name the baby until they're sure it's going to survive?
Then we visited these twins:
Again, mom had died in childbirth. This aunt took the babies in, as well as a sister. The 6 (!) other children were split among other relatives. This woman had to quit her job to take care of these babies.
This was her home, where the roof had partially collapsed.
This child was sleeping inside the house; we're not really sure who she belongs to.
Seeing these babies and the difference being made in this village was inspiring and makes us want to do more somehow!
