Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights

of all who are destitute.  Speak up and judge fairly.

Defend the rights of the poor and needy.  

Proverbs 31: 8-9

Boris just came to join us today. He is almost 3 years old with a great personality. He came from Hospital Vos Andies. He was very close to death when he arrived at the hospital. It turned out that because of sever worms his bowel turned inside its self and was obstructed. He had emergence surgery to correct the problem. The surgeon said it was the first time he had ever taken live worms out of a patient during surgery. You can see that Boris has almost blond hair, this is an indication that he is severely malnourished, but with his appetite it won’t take long for him to become a healthy little boy. Boris is also a little delayed, didn’t start walking until almost 2 years old and still doesn’t talk.

Boris’s mother left his father 2 brothers and 2 sisters about a year ago. The oldest sister, 10 years old is taking care of the family while their father works. He loves his children very much and hopes as Boris recovers and gets a little older he will be able to rejoin his family.
