Corrie's children's center


I know I have already written about Corrie and the children she cares for... but I thought I would give you an update on Llieza and the other children. 

Above is a video that was made a couple weeks before I arrived. 
It was truly a testament to be able to visit with Corrie and the children, who are thriving and healthy, thanks to Corrie and her brilliant staff. 

They were celebrating their monthly birthdays.
One of the games they played was bobbing for candy.
This little boy above was brought to Corrie as an infant dying from five different strains of Malaria, AIDS and TB. He is clearly healthy and thriving. Such a clown.


Me with some of the older girls.
Griselda is above. She quickly became one of my best friends.

This is Joseph, one of our translators. He is a long time friend of Corrie and the kids. They also celebrated his birthday with the rest.
This is Llieza three days after I wrote that initial post. She was doing so much better and even back to school. Truly a miracle. 

I am planning a trip back to Mozambique before I return to the states and I plan to make a family photo album for Corrie and give it to her when I return. 

We are still thinking and working on a plan to help Corrie become financially sustainable and to gain some more help.
