Carla- HIV Orphan

[Taken in Natural light] [As is]

Inspired by the plight of extreme poor and sick children in rural and remote villages in Africa, I have dedicated my Life to helping as many as I can. “Together we can and are making a real difference”.

Taken in Tunga/Zuga Village, deep in Kebbe state, Nigeria. Carla Is HIV positive. Since this Photo was taken in December 2007, Carla has improved, with our help. Sadly her mother died in February 2008. Now her Aunt cares for her.Many Children face hardship and in some cases are isolated from care and love within their community.

    Trena, This is so exciting to have Carla featured in this group. I Appreciate this very much, as my work is more noticed as it is featured. Thank you Trena. Update on Carla.

    Such a beautiful child. If I could, I’d take them all home and love them to bits!

  • TREVOR IRWIN replied 15 days ago

    I feel like that all the time. I love them all so much. Working adn living with them is hard. Especially when I nor the charity do not have enough money to help those who need it most. We can only help a few, but God helps us continue and use what we have. Thats the hardest thing for me as a persona and Missionary to cope with. its not being bothered that I have needs, Its knowing if I and the mission team [who are all un salaried], Just had more money we really could save many more lives and sent them to school and watch them grow up to be be whatever they chose to be. Carla wants to be a nurse or doctor. I just know with Gods help and ours she will make a great nurse of Doctor.

    Thank you so much Rosetta for your encouragement.

    The love of God and His love in you is apparent. Matthew 25:40 – Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. You and I heard His voice when He spoke those words, so you can’t ignore them. Me too. I do what I can in Gambia and only pray that God blesses me that I can be a blessing. Luke 10:2 has always been an issue. Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest. People don’t go, do they? Do you think it’s because the church is not as prayerful as it once was?
