We continue to be blessed. We received a couple more donations this week and are currently sitting at $1,250. Only $350 to go.
I received the following note this morning from our Canadian Major Frank in Bamako...

OK, I will find a few minutes to prepare such a thank-you card……
Not sure if I forgot to tell you…. The orphanage has a new member.
A new born (1 week) who was found in a box downtown.
Here is your “Gift of God” mentioned below.
Fatoumata called me on my cell phone during an evening to seek my permission to keep the baby !!
It starts to be too much on my shoulders. But I could not say NO. There was no other option.
They day after I was visiting the orphanage and see the baby, Fatoumata simply informed me they nick-named him “Petit Frank”. I burst out laughing.
Young girls from villages often become pregnant when they reach Bamako because they are so naïve… with boys and associated fantasies in a big city.
They cannot abort, and when they give birth they cannot go back with the baby to the village, so they just drop the baby.
I should be able to send two pics of the baby in the next two hours.
Frank
