GLORIA is a victim of CHILD ABUSE and In an unfortunate accident last week, little Gloria was playing with her friends and took a tumble. She landed badly and dislocated her left leg, displacing the bone. She was in serious pain, crying and unable to walk. First aid was immediately administered by our experienced team, whilst waiting for the doctors to arrive.

On examination and x-ray by our able doctors, it was seen that she was clearly in big trouble. Under normal circumstances, an injury like this usually means that the child is put to rest in their respective dormitories as they wait for transfers.

Doctors discussed the case at length, studying the X-rays and working out a plan of action. A full surgical team was put together and surgical tools gathered, veterinary consumables were packed and an ambulance vehicle to move her was hired and it was a go. The stress within our team was very high.

Within 3 hours Gloria was on the operating table, surrounded by deeply concerned and skilled matron, monitoring her every breath and every procedure.

The speed at which the action plan was formulated, ensured that Gloria had the best chance of healing and surving.

The surgery was completed in under one hour and the team took Gloria back to Light Home of Hope, where she was woken up.

Gloria now requires round-the-clock nursing, which is normal for all kids under our care. Pain medications and antibiotics are managed carefully. She is able to limp and get up on her own. Movement is encouraged to keep muscle tone in the other limbs, as well as ensure blood flow to the affected leg.

Healing should take place over a period of six to 3 weeks, so keeping Gloria entertained is a challenge. However, she is a little champion of other girls, courageous and we all expect a full recovery.

Doctors are checking up on her regularly and are happy with her progress.

At Light Uriri, we embody a Culture of Care, where every child and especially girls matters, both on a micro and macro scale. We embrace empathy and compassion. I am truly proud to be partnering with caring, kind and compassionate people like you at this time, breaking down barriers and inspiring live changing efforts for kids in need.

Humble appeal at the moment she is need of a sponsor to help her get the much needed food, clothing, shelter, medical care and education. To sponsor her please contact me. Or visit www.reigniteglobal.org

With respect help me share this. Thank you!!

Thanks for the friendship and connection feel most welcomed at Light Uriri.

LIGHT URIRI is a registered Non Profit organization Registration No. [DSS/OYN/CBO/0011/2013] formed in 2009 to feed, cloth, shelter and educate orphaned, abandoned, street children, abused and exploited girls in addition to empowering girls and women through awareness creation, advocacy, education and training. We currently support 550 most vulnerable children out of which 23 boys and 27 girls are residents at Light Home of Hope. We are located in Uriri, Migori County in KENYA.

Uriri community is characterized by high poverty, illiteracy and high unemployment rates, thus many families can't afford to feed and take their children to school. To make the situation worse many children are orphaned, abandoned, abused and exploited thus denied their basic HUMAN RIGHTS.

Girls and women are particularly disadvantaged as cultural attitudes in many communities prevent parents from supporting girls and women's education and training. Poverty, diseases, violence, unemployment, discrimination, sexual abuse, teenage pregnancies, child marriage, drug and substance abuse have become obstacles.

Together with you, we can change this STORY. Help us advocate, create awareness and sponsor most vulnerable children’s EDUCATION. Any act of your KINDNESS goes a long way. Read more: www.lightschooluriri.org

LOCK-DOWN IN KENYA? HUNGER WILL KILL MORE THAN COVID-19 . WE ARE ASKING GOK TO CONSIDER A STIMULUS PACKAGE FOR ITS CITIZENS. SO THEY CAN STAY AT HOME!

Beautiful message from Bill Gates

Subject: What is the Corona/ Covid-19 Virus Really Teaching us?

I’m a strong believer that there is a spiritual purpose behind everything that happens, whether that is what we perceive as being good or being bad.

As I meditate upon this, I want to share with you what I feel the Corona/ Covid-19 virus is really doing to us:

1) It is reminding us that we are all equal, regardless of our culture, religion, occupation, financial situation or how famous we are. This disease treats us all equally, perhaps we should to. If you don’t believe me,
just ask Tom Hanks.

2) It is reminding us that we are all connected and something that affects one person has an effect on another. It is reminding us that the false borders that we have put up have little value as this virus does not need a passport. It is reminding us, by oppressing us for a short time, of those in this world whose whole life is spent in oppression.

3) It is reminding us of how precious our health is and how we have moved to neglect it through eating nutrient poor manufactured food and drinking water that is contaminated with chemicals upon chemicals. If we don’t look after our health, we will, of course, get sick.

4) It is reminding us of the shortness of life and of what is most important for us to do, which is to help each other, especially those who are old or sick. Our purpose is not to buy toilet roll.

5) It is reminding us of how materialistic our society has become and how, when in times of difficulty, we remember that it’s the essentials that we need (food, water, medicine)as opposed to the luxuries that we sometimes unnecessarily give value to.

6) It is reminding us of how important our family and home life is and how much we have neglected this. It is forcing us back into our houses so we can rebuild them into our home and to strengthen our family unit.

7) It is reminding us that our true work is not our job, that is what we do, not what we were created to do.
Our true work is to look after each other, to protect each other and to be of benefit to one another.

8) It is reminding us to keep our egos in check. It is reminding us that no matter how great we think we are or how great others think we are, a virus can bring our world to a standstill.

9) It is reminding us that the power of freewill is in our hands. We can choose to cooperate and help each other, to share, to give, to help and to support each other or we can choose to be selfish, to hoard, to look after only our self. Indeed, it is difficulties that bring out our true colors.

10) It is reminding us that we can be patient, or we can panic. We can either understand that this type of situation has happened many times before in history and will pass, or we can panic and see it as the end of the world and, consequently, cause ourselves more harm than good.

11) It is reminding us that this can either be an end or a new beginning. This can be a time of reflection and understanding, where we learn from our mistakes, or it can be the start of a cycle which will continue until we finally learn the lesson we are meant to.

12) It is reminding us that this Earth is sick. It is reminding us that we need to look at the rate of deforestation just as urgently as we look at the speed at which toilet rolls are disappearing off of shelves. We are sick because our home is sick.

13) It is reminding us that after every difficulty, there is always ease. Life is cyclical, and this is just a phase in this great cycle. We do not need to panic; this too shall pass.

14) Whereas many see the Corona/ Covid-19 virus as a great disaster, I prefer to see it as a great corrector.

It is sent to remind us of the important lessons that we seem to have forgotten and it is up to us if we will learn them or not.
