Nurse Gloria

Praise the Lord - we have found a new nurse, a lovely lady called Gloria. She is also a trained midwife so there are plans for her to provide some family planning and antenatal clinics in the future. during the last few months 2 of the mothers of ROJ children have died apparently due to to antenatal and postnatal care which they can not afford. There is great excitment at the arrival of Nurse Gloria and Gordon is working with her to prepare the Health House - buying equipment, furniture etc and making plans for how she will work.
this afternoon we are holding a health seminar for the parents to introduce her and explain what she will do. Wonderful.......
when we first met Pastor Steven 4 years ago this week he was talkiing about the desparate need for health care here and his vision for a nurse based at ROJ to serve the needs of the chidlren adn their families - so here we are four years later - setting it up, he is thrilled at the answer to his prayers and way that Gloria has not only the nursing but also midwifery skills which are so needed. Praise the Lord .... again!!!

Hi Sue, it's so wonderful to read your blog, and incredibly moving too. It's reminded me once again of what an amazing family you are - you are truly a blessing to many many people. I completed the Bath Half Marathon last Sunday in 1 hour 55 mins and have raised about £100 for the Kabanda Trust as a result of it.
Lots of love, Hannah
