Registration for ConnectMed






This lady is from our village area.  She came last week to our door asking for help for her baby boy who was born with cleft palate/ cleft lip.  While the baby is too small and sick right now to be operated on he did receive cleft palate bottles to aid in his feeding.  And Jeremy and I will be providing formula to ensure that we get his weight up for the next surgical event.  




This is Lozi!  Remember her!  You'll see her pictures in the next blog post!  Amazing!
