We have been trying to reach out to some prostitutes in Ali's community. I'm not talking about a big project meant to rescue or rehabiltate them, but instead just attempts at building relationships. We are trying to be there, when no one else can or will be there.
Ali texted me today letting me know of an opportunity for us to be there.
This is the maternity ward where one of the young ladies went to give birth. Shirleen Njeru was born to Betty in this little maternity clinic here in Kenya. The baby has brought her joy, even if it's creation did not.
Yet creed attempted to sabotage the happy birthday celebrations. Betty was unable to pay the bill and so the clinic decided to hold her captive. It's a common practice here in Kenya. If you can't pay they punish you by locking you in, along with your newborn baby.
Here's the little bundle of joy.
We jumped at this opportunity to rescue them both and paid the bill. Mom and baby girl are home free now.
Yes even though it's 300 degrees out she is bundled up well enough for the artic.
