Scholar, Rick, and Maximilla



For those of you that have consistently kept up with my blog you might remember my asking prayers for Maximilla who left the Farm back in December with her baby Rick. Last week I walked outside only to turn see her there holding her baby. I ran over to give them both a hug. She had come to the Farm because Rick is sick with Malaria. The staff has asked her to stay for a few days so that he can get better and be properly fed. Look at the photo of Rick at one year and two months old. He looks about the same size he was in December. She lives in the main slum here in Kitale and doesn't feed him properly but somehow manages to get some of the local booze for herself. Back in December, our director offered to take care of Rick at Challenge Farm since she didn't have the means but she refused. We are all worried for his life. Please pray for Maximilla and her baby. The other girl in the photo is Maximilla's sister Scholar who currently lives and schools with us. She is having a rough time seeing her nephew sick.
