Kuda has her first tooth


As you know Kuda is officially the first child for the Jabulani children's home.
Her mother died at birth and we recently discovered that she was dropped on her head at this time which has caused her lasting damage. The specialists say she cant see and may have other physical disabilities but Alan and Dorothy report that she has been making massive steps forward and believe that with Gods help she can over come her disabilities.
She is just under 1 year old and has just gotten her first tooth. This is a real milestone in her short life.
kuda has become the poster child of Jabulani and her story represents everything that this orphanage is being set up for. Without the help of Alan and Dorothy Kuda would most likely have been left in a hospital to die with no one to care for her as the hospitals just dont have the resources.
Her story is sadly very common and reports say there are 800,000 orphans in Zimbabwe and resources are not there to care for even their most basic needs.
We cant help everyone but right now with your help we are going to give a future and family to 50 babies that otherwise would have no future at all.
This is difficult work in a difficult environment and please pray for Alan and Dorothy as they endevour to shine a light. There is alot to do but the exciting thing is that this is making a difference,
Just look at that little smile!
