Abandoned by his mother to his grandmother along with two of his half siblings.  He was locked in her home in the village.  The grand mother is too poor, she cannot even buy soap or any food.  She digs in another’s  garden to earn some small fee.  The children were eating only once a day in the evening some dry maize flour.  When we found him he had severe malaria, bacterial infection and was a mere 12 pounds at the age of 2 years.  He could not stand or walk and his spine was bent like an elderly man because he was left just lying in the house.When he first came here he would hide under the table and if you tried to hug him or speak to him he would roll his eyes up into his eyelids or close his eyes tight so he could not see you. He is now healthy and walking thanks to love, proper nutrition and our amazing therapists. We are still working on his socialization skills but that usually takes a year or two for them to come around.
