Nov.14Th, on the way home from netting 10 villages, we decided to stop in and see the pediatric ward at the Mbararra University Hospital. SHOCKING! I can not express that enough. I have never seen anything like it! Shocking...
There were a dozen cribs, some with 2 babies in them. 80% of the children were suffering from malaria. Some babies have been in the hospital with malaria for 2 weeks and most likely will not make it out alive. The suffering was terrible. As I looked around the room, I saw only 2 nets. They need our help, these children are going to die. We need more nets, one village at a time, one hospital at a time, we have to do more. We need to do more and we CAN do more.
As great as you feel when you give 500 nets to the very needy, you soon realize how much more needs to be done. We have to do more, we just have to!

Hey Nanc
This is heartbreaking. So many innocent lives..some born without a chance. You are so strong to visit these places. Glad you are safe.
Love ya
