MARTINA IS BACK BUT NOT ALEXANDRO YET

Praise The Lord that Martina is already coming back to the orphanage. She is coming back because she is already healthy and well . Things that were not good about  her health has been cured and no more being a sick baby status for her. For Martina , we are not only bringing her to the orphanage but we were bringing her also to see her original family . Once she was a skeleton wrapped up in skin baby who was fed by drips and went for days in ICU , no she is a healthy and chubby baby, Praise The Lord.

One day before we brought Martina , Alexandro and Cornelis , Peggy curious about Alexandro's weight and the looks of his eyes.  Even though Alexandro has been eating well but his weight is not good enough. Peggy asked us to send Alexandro for a medical check up . During the check up the doctor told us that Alexandro is suffering from Tuberculoses in his glands . It is proven that our curiosity is not baseless.  Because of his condition , Alexandro must under go some 6 months of medical treatments and we can not bring him back to the orphanage yet. It can be cured 100% but again some 6 months is needed. It was a sad thing when we can not bring him as we already have his airplane ticket with us ( and not a refundable too ha ha ha ).  The amazing thing was when  we told Cornelis that Alexandro can not go with us because he is still sick and needing some medical treatments. Cornelis told us , if Alexandro staying who will be playing with him? He add up some more that if he ( Cornelis) is willing to stay back for him and to play with him while Alexandro is still sick. We can not help our self to hold our tears. How come such a young person ( less than 4 years old) was able to know the sense of togetherness and willing to do things for others. After thinking to what Cornelis has said , we decided to let him stay back with Alexandro ( even though for Cornelis we were already bought the non refundable ticket too). So at our home in Jakarta we are still having the sick Alexandro and Cornelis for at least some 6 months .

Our sadness was reduced when we are having a visit by bro Raymund and sis Irene Tan this evening. we are so happy to received such a wonderful gifts from them. The precious books that they gave us is really the best tool for us to teach the children about English and even more.  On top of the gifts we are so drawn closer when we were discussing about the children and their future if or if not being helped. We are agree that the poverty can be cured by giving them a chance  to study as much as possible and to teach them about self discipline and the eagerness to study more.

It is rather miracle the way they were linked up to us. Bro Raymund found us while browsing the internet about orphanage. They couple is wanting to share happiness with some orphanage children especially during this precious Christmas time.
