CASA DE INNOCENCIA

A little 4 month old baby named Innocencia comes to Bernadette every week with her aunt to the clinic to collect her baby milk. Bernadette wanted to help Innocencia and her aunt by helping put the roof on their house before rainy season comes in January. Bernadette paid for all the materials and labour needed. On Monday Jonny went to help gather grass for the roof to lay onto a newly constructed bamboo roof frame. Late on in the afternoon I came with the camera to get a few pics of what was happening. We'll put these up soon. 

There are 4 people living in the house, Innocencia, her aunt and two boys. Innocencia's mother died during childbirth so this is why she lives with her aunt. Her aunt is widowed. As part of O.W.Y Bernadette chooses very carefully the people she helps outside the project. Bernadette helps those in the worst circumstances, facing daily problems. 

Read James 1:27 to get a better picture of O.W.Y's mandate.

Also, pray for Lucas's family, his baby daughter is now sick and he has malaria. They're really going through a hard time at the moment. 

Love,

Jonny/Emma
