You may remember one of our orphans, Erika. Her mother died shortly after giving birth to her, so poor Erika had a very rough start to her life. She was taken care of by a woman in another village for several months, but became severely malnourished with a terrible contagious skin infection. By the time we found her and brought her to the orphanage, there had been some brain function damage. She was given nutritious food, her skin condition was treated and she was given lots of love. Erika has some mental development delay and trouble with her speech, but she is a very happy, loving young girl and brings joy wherever she goes. Love is something you do. Bobby and Sherry
