Teaching, teaching, teaching

Through repeated teaching we hope to help them understand the imporance of clean drinking water, sanitation and hand washing. They just lost a precious baby this past week, and Dale provided transportation to the funeral. The parents didn't even attend, but the grandma showed the grief I'm sure they all feel. It is common here for parents to retain a distance from their children, because they fall ill so often. They don't even name their babies, until sometimes 2 years old. We know first hand that attachment is so important for the normal development of children, pray this is revealed to them by our creator.
