Boy Child

Father and son

Our heart goes out to one of our Sinkhani health workers in Malawi.  Her sweet little boy was born with both male and female, undeveloped, genitalia and suffers from incontinence.  Ever since hearing about him we've been on a mission to see what can be done.

[We've changed names and identifying information but here's the story from Jere:] 

       I have tried looking for an assistance for the Child for many days, on 14^th March I went to see my friend who is a doctor. Luck enough I found him on free time and I took an advantage to ask him about the Child after I narrated the whole problem of the child. He is a specialist in eyes and he told me that he has a friend that can know better about such problem of the Child than him although he is a specialist in the woman body parts, 

My friend also told me the way how I can approach the new doctor.  He told me the new doctor has a friend who is also a specialist in Man body parts and always they work together privately. He also said that the if the child is about 12 years the operation is not taking too long, but studying the person is taking long time. He emphasised very much that good approach will help the Child.  Next week I will have an appointment with the new doctor because I have just heard that he is back from India.

We are desperately hoping the Malawi health care system will find a way to help our little friend!!
