Little Lucson is now nine and still small for his age. He is in 5th grade and “super smart!” He too was from that high mountain that we started working in, called “Belle Fontaine.”

When his mother died of “childbirth fever,” his father knew he could not care for him. All mountain babies are breastfed and since the majority of mothers are frail and not in good health, it is difficult for a father to find another woman to breastfeed a baby. His father had his hands full with four other children.

Lucson, the kids call him “Zorey” (ears!) He is a hard worker! In this picture, he’s picking up trash on our property. Lucson wants to be a doctor!! We love him, Sherry
