Meet our “songbird”
/
Blind from birth, Belen joyfully touches her grandfather’s face. This precious five-year-old has not let the darkness quell the songs in her heart! Our Nutrition Ward is brightened by her sweet voice which resounds with hymns and choruses she seems to memorize instantly. She quickly learns new songs and then sings them out with a clear, confident voice. She and her little sister, Marbella, also blind, came to us after 3-year-old Marbella became seriously malnourished. Marbella has recovered well and now hums along softly while her sister energetically serenades us all. The girls are attending classes for the blind at a special school near our campus, and their family comes to visit them regularly. Belen is clearly delighted to “see” her grandfather!
Thank you for helping us help families, giving these special children a better life!
