On this above date the Whisper Team again made a courtesy call to the child headed family in Kivubuka for a follow up of the activities done on the 7th of March 2012.
Not much had changed when the team arrived, the trio still lay there in a lot of misery and one could clearly see that hunger still ruled his home. This time the team had chance to check the entire house and look at the sleeping conditions of these three kids again, it was pathetic. The children's geldings (tattered pieces of cloths) are all scattered all over the room and there were a lot of fleas.
Attempts to find the mother to the children were made but all to no avail. This was postponed for a later date.
Observation:
- Children sleep on the floor
- The house is full of dust
- The house id dominated by fleas that have sucked the children's blood causing them a lot of anaemia
- The mother takes more than 4 days to come home
Costs Involved:
Transport (taxi + BodaBoda) 20.000 Sh
Water and food for the children 7.000 Sh
Rescue food for the children 3.000 Sh
Whisper Team participants included: Mugabi Emmanuel
Volunteer: Tomek Deko from Poland
Pozdrawiam dzielnego wolontariusza :)
