Centre de Réhabilitation Nutritionnel de Gatumba, Bujumbura Rural

The Co-ordinator of the Project suggested me to visit a Nutrition Rehabilitation Centre in the area of Bujumbura Rural. This of course with the objective to better understand the true needs of the population and hence to give an accurate report of the needs. More than a purely professional visit, it was such a deep experience, difficult to explain in words. It touched my heart so much! So hereunder some pictures.
This is Angela. She is working here already for about 9 years, and she is leaving by the end of this month. She is worried about the future of the Centre. She is someone that loves in practical and evident ways. She knows the name or the story of each of the kids in the "intensive care unit"

One of those cases is this girl and her little brother next to her. The mother passed away some time ago, and though the father is alive, he does not care of his children. The kid next to is so undernourished that needs to receive intravenous feeding. The BIG SISTER is always by his side. Actually, she took him from home, and brought him to the health centre that eventually sent both to the nutrition rehabilitation unit.

Here a close up of the "little brother", saved by his "big sister". What a desire to live, and what a love! She has determination.

I will finalise my mission tomorrow, I'm glad with it, with how it went through. Hope to post more pictures of this amazing visit. I believe that God's hand was as usual there. Thanks Jesus for this opportunity to feel your heart for these children.
