Bundles of Joy

I had a busy day today visiting 3 of my colleagues, good friends, amazing teachers and now new mothers. We have had abundant blessings since June 2015, with 3 babies among the staff and eight babies among parents/guardians.

Joan’s mum Felistas (Mama Mso) has been working as a cook at the center since November last year. She has two kids at the center Mso in Baby class and Fiona in grade one. She came to me in early November seeking help after her husband kicked her out of their house when she was five months pregnant. They had just learned that the baby she was carrying was a girl and the man wanted a boy. I allowed her to sleep at the center for two nights then found her a place to stay and gave her a job.

Mama Mso is a hard-working and very generous person. Although she didn’t have much she would not let me leave her house without a meal. It really warmed my heart. And Mso and Fiona were excited to see me, I think I was the last person they were expecting to visit.

This post is hastily written but I felt I couldn’t sleep with sharing something about Joan, Fiona, and Mso. They are beautiful wonderful kids and I cannot understand why someone would disown them just because they are girls
