Gift

This morning we got to accompany Sylvia (our new ugandan friend/co-worker!) to do a "child assessment" on a future sponsored child. This is the story we found. 

Three years ago, a woman named Vinnie found a baby girl in the bushes while she was digging in her garden. After brushing off all the ants and cutting her umbilical cord off with the reeds of a papaya (tia!), Vinnie took the baby to the hospital and then to the police to ask if she could keep her. She knew that the baby was a "gift from God" after the recent loss of her husband. Today, Vinnie and her four children take care of their sweet new daughter and sister. Meet Gift.
