Dentisti a Baraa

The children visited a Dentist recently! The dentists were all volunteers from the United States working on teeth for orphanages and schools at the Baraa Dispensary in Moshono. There were a lot of big smiles on little faces after their cleanings! The picture above is of our own Helen getting worked on while the other children look on. The picture below is of Regina all smiles after her cleaning.

Malaika Welcomes Tina (the calf)

On Sunday morning our lovely cow, Carolina, gave birth to a new calf named Tina. Congratulations Carolina! Welcome to Malaika, Tina!

SOLAR PANELS!!

After two years without; we finally have two solar panels installed at Malaika! This is such a huge accomplishment; and we are so very proud and happy. Especially the children! They have been staying up late just to read a book, or spend more time cuddling little Sara. Thank you Francesca, Matteo and Assim Family from Italy.

Marie & Henrik

Two young volunteers from Hamburg, Germany gave their knowledge, love and lots of laughter to our children.
Thank you so much for your ideas and support. We wish you luck in your studies and we hope you come back one day.

Federica and Azmina

Federica has been with us for 1 year (!) at Malaika and is leaving us to go back to her home in Italy. We cannot thank you enough for your contribution, Federica. What a gift it has been to have you with us.

With Federica's departure, we also have to say goodbye to Azmina; Azmina has started working and we thank her for her constant support at Malaika. We hope to see you soon at Malaika.

Back to School!

After a long break, the children are back to school! They are very happy to be back in their classes and under the guidance of the sisters at Saint Monica's School at Moshono.

So Much Activity this Winter!!

Dear readers!
It has been a long and busy winter (Summer, for you) for us at Malaika Children's Home. We have had so many new additions and changes, and here are just a few of the big ones:

Our glorious and beloved Mama Sue has been with us again; her THIRD visit and we will have her back again next May for a fourth time. On top of her devotion to the children, we are also so grateful for her generous gift of a beautiful cow to Malaika. On top of this, our lovely new cow gave birth to a calf just a few weeks ago. The children now have the milk that they need. Thank you so much Mama Sue!

And speaking of milk! Our little Sara is now 7 months old and holding her milk bottle by herself. Her favorite thing is her milk and she prefers it over any other food. What an amazing gift Sue has given us!
