One afternoon, when nurse Kakande was visiting some old ladies, a young woman came to him carrying a baby girl. It appeared that her nine-month-old baby had been in hospital because of undernourishment. Because the mother could not pay the hospital bills she had taken the baby with her and left her with the old women. She told them that her husband had died of aids and that she had no money to take care of her child. She gave the hospital files to nurse Kakande and left. Because the old ladies don’t have the means to look after the baby, we decided to give them enough food for the little girl.
We hope the mother will return soon to look after her own child.
