In December and January we lost several children to a Measles outbreak in the village. After much work, we are grateful that God has opened the doors for us to finally kickstart a vaccination program here at the Feeding Center. We were able to vaccinate the 30 children we are supporting to help their malnourished bodies and weakened immune systems fight against Measles and Rubella. We are also administering Vitamin A and deworming supplements to help strengthen their immunity.
Viruses and outbreaks are much different here in the village than back home in the US where children are healthy and well-nourished. Here such outbreaks have very lethal effects, killing many children. These vaccinations and vitamins will help save more lives and its presenting more opportunities for us to share the Gospel with the families of the village.
Children are being saved, God is being glorified, and families are coming to know Christ.
