One of Our Children was Rushed to the Hospital

For those of you who do not follow us on the yahoo group, I am sending you the message here.  At last distribution, a child was brought to Chim's attention.  He appeared to be very ill, and Chim returned to Lusaka with a video, photo and information about the boy.  The boy's name is Clever.  He just got a sponsor a few days ago actually. 

Yesterday (Saturday), his belly was swelling.  Thanks to his new sponsor, the family was given funds to get him treated.  At first they were headed to the clinic, but it was soon clear that they would need access to the equiptment and medicines that would be easier provided by a hospital.  They rushed him on to the hospital. 

Now, we must sit and wait for word from Chim.  He is already headed to Mazabuka, and he will send us updates once he is there.  He does not have a car, so relying on public transportation will make some things difficult, but as soon as I know something, I will let you all know.  I know everyone is worried about him.  Please continue to keep him and his mother in your thoughts and prayers!
