Impressions, so many of them, not to compare…

At Mother Teresa we were welcomed by young children, not going to school yet, singing a welcomes song. Followed by the performance of group of young girls, the first one shy in a nice dress, but opening up when reciting a poem full of conviction.
Very impressive especially knowing their history; Mother Teresa is a home for the most vulnerable. At the moment there are 120 guests, from babies to elder, most of them invested by HIV/AIDS. Here they are looked after well by the sisters giving them a bit of sunshine in their lives!

A visit to the baby ward was very impressive knowing their backgrounds. One was found dropped in the garbage, another was brought by her grandparents since her mother died giving birth and they were not able to take care of her.
Another girl, whose mother was at the clinic a few doors further, was also taken care of here. She however does not need to be infected herself, since HIV/AIDS is passed on by breast feeding which her mother did not do. Note also that given the right drugs on time, one baby turned within two month from HIV+ to HIV-.

One thing they all had in common is that they were looked after with a lot of love, as babies deserve everywhere in the world and they were happy and smiling!
All children can stay until the family is able to take care of them or they can support themselves. Meanwhile going to the community school on site for the first grades finishing their primary education at the normal (government) schools, where they are the better students the sister proudly mentioned.
By coming to Mther Teresa these children have a future again!
