Lillian

This is Lillian. She is the youngest of 5. She was born in an "Internally Displaced People" Camp during the war. Her mom is HIV+ and so is she. She looks to be between 1-2 years old but is actually 4 years old. The disease has stunted her growth and effected her development (she doesn't walk or talk). Little Lillian is a joy to be with and I cherish the minutes with her. My heart definitely breaks for her short life expectancy.
Her mom, Florence, works on the Koro Farm as a cook. She loves Jesus and is doing her best to provide for her family. Pray for this sweet family that the JOY of the Lord would continue to sustain them is such difficult circumstances!
