Today
we received a call from the hospital asking for help with a tiny
little newborn named Fousseny. Fousseny is a two and half month old
twin. His brother died shortly after the twins were born.
At
two and half months old, Fousseny weighs only 700 grams (about 1 ½
pounds). Fousseny and his mama recently spent 2 weeks in the
hospital in the city and when they returned to the village Fousseny
weighed a little over 3 pounds. But, in the last three weeks he has
lost all of the weight that he had gained while in the hospital.
After
teaching Fousseny's mama how to prepare the formula, how to clean and
sterilize the bottles, and especially to use only pure water, we
enrolled him in our village milk program.
Mama
will bring Fousseny to our house each week to be weighed and she will
be given more milk as she needs it.
Please
pray with us that Fousseny will thrive and very quickly regain the
weight that he has lost!

God bless this precious baby and his mama. So glad they have the milk program to sustain his sweet life.
Praying for this sweet baby, for his momma and for the servant hands of the Lord to bring Life and Love to this child, his family and his village!!!! Love and appreciate you ladies, to the moon and back again!!!!!!!!!!
In common usage, only a child who has lost both parents due to death is called an orphan. When referring to animals, only the mother's condition is usually relevant.
