The mountain of diapers

       Thursday was one of the best experiences I had since I been here Gwenn Mangine, from Joy in Hope ministries, asked me to go with her to Bwa Vital an improved tent city to hand out diapers. You really can't say it's a tent city because there are rows and rows of little houses (got two small rooms and a small living area around 150 to 200 sq ft) a community outhouses, what a improvement from a tent city. The section we went to was a new area so the people were living here for 2 weeks, so the people were settling in, getting used to there new homes.
        Gwenn does this every Thursday (they only get ten diapers per baby for a week or longer), so it's more than just the diapers, it's to build relationships and to make sure the babies are in good health. If the diapers are not donated, she spends about $1000 a month on diapers So before she hands out the diapers she needs to see the babies, and did we see some cuties, to make sure their in good health. Up one row of houses and down the other side asking if they had a baby, looking at babies, what fun work.
        We came to this one house and asked if we could see her baby and it was adorable 9 day old boy, Gwenn asked her to see his belly button ( she never asked this question to any other baby in the time we were  in the tent city) it had to be God, so she uncovered the crimped off cord and it was in pretty bad shape. If she didn't asked to see the cord the baby would have died from infection. Gwenn called Sarah, a midwife from the olive tree project, she came out and did what she could, so she will come back and check up on him to see how well he is doing, pray for this little guy.

          This whole experience plus all the other experiences I had down here made me realize the mountain of need is so great here no one can climb it but if we help one child from dying or fed one person who is hungry or hug a child who needs a touch we are fulfilling the law of Christ. Mother Theresa said " if you can't feed 100 people then just feed one.
