Meet Edman. 
Edman is a very happy little boy who turns 5 in March.  Edman's Mum had a normal pregnancy with him, but he suffered from foetal distress during birth.  Initially everything seemed fine, but all of Edman's milestones have been significantly delayed, e.g. he started walking at 3 1/2 years and communicates now with single words.  He seems to have settled into Heshima very quickly and is making friends with the other children. 

Meet Baraka, which means Blessing in Swahili. 
He is one of twins and is nearly 2 1/2 years old.  Baraka has Cerebral Palsy due to complications at birth. Our staff will be working with him to learn to sit with support, roll, crawl, reach for toys and improve his eye contact. We see a lot of potential in Baraka and we pray that he settles well into his new home with us. 

If you are interested in sponsoring either of these new children, you can see the details under the 'Support Heshima' heading and can specify which child you would like to support in the 'notes' section. 

Today we are going swimming with five of the children and their mums.  This will be the first time for mums to come with us so we're excited to share the fun with them, and hopefully they will see and understand the amazing therapeutic benefits for their children also. As you can see from Aggie and Maggie's faces, they love it!
