slowly but surely

Lomela is getting better. It’s hard to see day by day, but when you look at the photos from when she was rescued from Lodja, you can see the difference.

Here she is a month ago, when Pierrot and Blaise, our education officers went with Anne Marie, our nurse to rescue her.

When Anne Marie gave her a bath, all the village children came out to watch.

Today, she still looks bad, but she’s filling out, slowly but surely. Her Maman Henriette says it’s mostly her spirit that suffers. If she decides to survive, she’ll live. If she decides to die, there’s nothing we can do except try to convince her that everything gets better from here.
