Malaria, Jiggers, worms and HIV

It has been a tough week for many children at the Christian Mission Academy. I am praying for them all so hard. The jigger removal was scheduled for Monday Tuesday Thursday and Friday 6 children each day.   On Monday only 4  children went,  they are embarrassed and teased by other children for having jiggers.  Several children and teachers were also treated for malaria, high fevers, respiratory illness and infections.
The Staff at Show Mercy are so amazing, Thursday when they went to the school they brought teddy bears for the kids that had jiggers,  12 children came forward right away a teddy bear was worth the teasing!

April a child that visited the clinic was identified as potentially having HIV. Her mother did not want her to be tested she did not want to know. We counciled her and convinced her it was the best thing to do.
The family of 4 were all tested, the mother and the young child are both HIV positive her sibling are negative.
This mother is devastated and filled with fear. Her already bleak situation in life just became unbearable.  They need transportation to go to a clinic for treatment they need support. I have no idea what the cost of treatment will be but I promised the mother that I would help her and her family through this.

The children will all be treated for worms again the end of June.

I need to raise money to cover these expenses if you are willing to host a jewelry sale or sell jewelry /crafts to help please let me know.  Any donation any support will help.

I know it seems like there is no end to the need and this is true. BUT we are making a difference, we have rescued many children from slavery, they are still in school. This month we rescued a young girl from being sold into marriage.  20 children are in secondary school ,4years ago  no child  at the school made it to the 7th grade. The first group of girls I met in 2008 are mothers at 15. This year our graduating class is 24 and we have  students graduating from middle school.  They attend a school they are proud to attend. They have been on a field trip, and we are planning another end of the year trip.  These children now have the ability to dream of a future with possibilities. 
Together We are Loving a Village one child at a Time.
