ETHIOPIA IN JULY


-ANOTHER PROJECT-


Todos Los Ninos (Our Foundation), has had several opportunities of helping children all around the world. We have helped build a new orphanage in Cuenca Ecuador. We have sent needed items to Peru, Tyland, Hatti and Africa. Right now we are involved in gathering Hygiene Kits and baby blankets for newborns in Ethiopia. There is a special need for them in the Kenya Hospital that was built and run by medical personnel from Kenya. I am hoping to be able to take them in July.

Many people have been found in areas where there are no medical facilities. Julie came across a mother with a baby strapped to her back. The baby had been severely burned. The palm of her hand and all up her arm were very destroyed. Julie happens to be a nurse, however, she didn't have any equipment. She rummaged through some supplies that had been sent and found a box that hadn't been opened. It was a medical kit. Julie was able to attempt to clean this, almost lifeless, babies burns. She taught the mother how to cut the skin back and scrub the arm. It must be done every day or the baby could die.

So much needs to be done but few people to do it. If you would like to help with this project we would be very grateful.

  2. What a wonderful thing you are doing. Before you go I will get you some items to take with you. I hope that child is doing well and has recovered from the burns. So sad.
