James Vaca has been busy the last few days with the staff at Anchor of Hope. A crucial need for the village has been modifying and improving the perimeter wall. The old walls have been beaten down and weakened over time, and by building up these barriers the people will be able to be protected from wildlife and other threats from outside the village. James has been helping to supervise construction while the builders began work on it late Monday and were able to share their progress.
The Crops have been growing nicely over the past few weeks as well. There was a good amount of recent rainfall that has helped remove the dirt and dryness that has been hindering the growth, leading to a cautiously hopeful expectation that the village will have enough food during the harsher months. Please continue to pray for rain and for the food needs of the people will be met before the harvesting season comes to an end.
We also have an update on Baby Kadiiri. For a while now he has had health struggles, including our last call to prayer earlier this week. It does not look like he will need immediate surgery, but he is still very weak. He has slowly improved in his time with us, but his recent bout of sickness has left him with very little appetite, contributing to his low weight. While being tested today, his arm circumference was found to be “in the red” indicating severe malnutrition, with a high risk of death without proper medical intervention. He is meeting with the nutritional teams now and we are hoping that we can find a way to save his life. Please continue to keep him in prayer, this is a really critical time for him.
We will continue to provide updates as the days go on, please keep all of our workers and the people of Naluko, from the little ones to the elderly, in your prayers. Thank you and God Bless!
