Today the team visited the Ministry of Hope Crisis Center. This is an infant home that was established to rescue and provide shelter and crisis care to babies at risk-i.e. those who are abandoned, neglected or abused, those affected with HIV/AIDS as well as those with critically/chronically ill mothers who can no longer care for them.
We learned today of Talandira Hope. Talandira is one of the babies who had no hope in her life. She was found dumped along Lilongwe River crying for help. One night a private guard went to the river to wash his face; there he found the baby crying for help without any guardian around. He reported the issue to police who alerted the crisis nursery to rescue the baby. When they arrived at the scene, the baby was just crying and and her eyes were filled with fear and hopelessness.
The time she was found, she was full of charms around her body. It is believed that those charms were put for good luck. Since her rescued by the Crisis Nursery, the baby has been doing fine. Now because of care and love she is getting the baby is always smiling. With Prayer and God doing great things in her life, Talandira Hope has now seen the light at the end of the tunnel. Today Talandira Hope is under foster care in Malawi.
While we visited the Crisis Nursery we spent two hours feeding and playing with the 13 of the 16 Babies that are currently being cared for by the Crisis Nursery. It was a wonderful experience for all of us. The pictures cannot begin to explain the emotions we all felt today holding and playing with those little babies.
