These sweet little twins, Mercy and Sarah, shown here with their dad and a Kafaw, have somehow managed to survive against all odds. Their mother died when they were 3 months old leaving an ill-equipped father to raise them and 3 older brothers. When the babies came to the attention of the kafwa, blankets, modest baby clothes, food and lots of love were provided. The kafwa made sure they were enrolled in our school when they were old enough.
The father was very welcoming when we visited their humble little temporary home yesterday. It is families like this that motivate the kafwa to keep volunteering year after year and trudging mile after mile. In the case of the twins, I suspect the kafwa were literal life savers.
