The TI team did a second round of check ups this week with Katerina from Lover Mercy. This time visiting TI’s Meru Farm project, where a 90 year old grandmother is caring for her 35 orphaned grandchildren. The state of these children were much worse than the others from last weeks checkups. Many of the children had skin infections, malaria and asthma among other problems including permanent ear and bone damage.

The children and grandmother were very grateful to Katerina and the TI team for the medication and medical attention they received. At each project each child’s weight and height were taken so their growth can be measured. Katerina would like to be checking on all the TI children several times a year.

The orphan’s health is a high priority to Transformed International. The monthly sponsorship of a child for $30 not only provides food and education, but assures that the child gets proper medical care when needed.
