Happy Thanksgiving!


I do know this is quite late, but Happy Thanksgiving to you all! As sad as I am to have missed Thanksgiving with my family, I'm just as grateful for this little guy, who arrived on the same day.

His name is David, he's about two weeks old, and he was rescued from a latrine. The Nairobi police brought him to Imani, where we volunteers began looking after him.

As of now, he's still in the hospital. He was severely malnourished, and he won't be released until after he's gained an appropriate amount of weight. He barely knew how to eat, and he had entirely too many wrinkles. His skin didn't return back to normal when pinched.

I'm inexpressibly thankful that he was found, saved, and will be taken care of. Hopefully, he'll come back soon so I can give him some hugs and kisses.
