New Arrivals

We are currently in the States for a little American R & R (Running & Racing). While the pace is busy we are enjoying time with family and will soon be visiting churches to tell baby stories. Since leaving our home the Nursery has welcomed two new arrivals which has tipped the gender balance in favor of little girls.

Augustine, the Administrative Assistant, wrote to announce their admission.

“Yesterday we admitted a new baby girl by the name of Brandina Nyasulu and she is one and a half months old. Her birth weight was 3.7 kgs but her weight has gone down to 3 kgs during her admission date. The mother died some three weeks ago and the baby was being taken care of by her uncle. She is the sixth born in a family of six. We don't know yet if the mother had tested for HIV or not and what made her die. The attached photo of the baby was taken yesterday at the Mzuzu District Social Welfare Office.”

Last week Augustine emailed the arrival of 2 month old Eunice Nyasulu (no relation to Brandina). Her mother died on August 19 and she was admitted to the Nursry on the 21^st.

The Nursery is now operating at full capacity with a total number of fifteen babies.
