Hello Babies!

Yes I arrived in Mwanza 3 days ago, but have been way too excited about seeing my babies again to update this!


The rest of the journey was good, despite being stung by Precision for extra luggage, and having to wait 40 minutes for my second case to get off the plane, but I got 'home' to lots of volunteers, lots of Bethany girls and pancakes! I managed one and had to go to bed, shattered!


All the new vols are nice, the staff are lovely as always. I was so happy that so many remembered me. The children are amazing as always!! However their behaviour has deteriorated and I was in for a few shocks, namely Davey! This angelic Big Baby has turned into 'hard work', lets say! I was shocked when I walked in the Baby Home and he was pushing the washing basket down the corridor... so I picked him up and he smacked me clean across the face!!! I spent lots of time with Big Babies, they were all last years Tiny Babies and are growing up so beautiful... Mija, Angel and Anna especially!!! 


My first full day here was interesting, and you remember that plans never go as they should! I went to hospital with Amy to meet George who has had surgery to create an anus. He is the most beautiful, happiest, smiliest child you could ever meet (despite the pain he must be in). On the way down we were called in to pick up a new baby! So Josephine Angel became baby number 117. The prem unit always shocks me, there was a newborn lying on a sofa - mum had given birth by Caesarian and gone to recover, and the baby was just left there unwashed, unfed etc and will remain so until mum comes to get it... whenever that may be. God Bless Africa....
