The MAASAI 2
I sent Norma a bunch of pictures with myself present in the pics last night. You can see just a small snow cap in the one of me with the cows and the earlier single shot. You may be able to realize our height compared to Kili which is at 20k ft. There is a pic of the massai girl with a baby tied in a wrap on her back and a little one with squished eyes from skin swelling. That 5 yo is suffering from malnutricion. The Mom says she fed him only ugali (corn meal) and rice. He is about the size of a three y.o. She said she had no milk. She said her husband has three wives. Sister Daria said the little one is in danger of dying. I did an ultrasound on him and found a reflective liver . His heart was fine so maybe he will make it with the care of the sisters. I hope to get a pic of the young Maasii with his sword and short dress like attire. The goat pics are coming soon.

Hi Jack! I am enjoying your blog. It is a window into a world that most of us will never experience. The photos of the malnourished children are so painful, and I pray for them and their mothers. The people all seem very handsome! I especially liked the photo of you with the cow in the background -- good thing it was a cow and not "something else." ;-)
ReplyDeleteYou probably know that Fr. Ben is off on his study mission to Italy, Turkey, etc. today - please remember him and the 22 with him in your prayers. We are thinking about and praying for you, too, and the people you are trying to help.
Lots of love and God bless,
Robin (ignore the "Bucky says" business!!)
