| Last month we
told you the story of Noweline, a young diabetic girl who had
been neglected by her parents. Sadly despite a great deal of
medical care at Acheru, Noweline passed away last week. |
| At Acheru
Noweline had been under the care of the nurses and in particular
Margaret the matron. Her diabetes was being managed well and the
feeding programme which Margaret had put her on was showing
signs of success. Noweline’s mother had even built up the
courage to come to Acheru to visit her daughter and plans had
been put in place with another organisation to accommodate
Noweline once her condition had stabilised. Finally her future
was looking bright. However, years of ill management of her
diabetes meant that her kidneys were no longer functioning
efficiently and it was complications resulting from this which
caused her untimely death. Please keep Noweline’s family
and the staff of Acheru, particularly Margaret who dedicated a
great deal of her time to the care of Noweline, in your prayers. |

| Despite such
upsetting news, the work of Acheru continues to thrive with a
body of committed staff and children who are grateful for the
treatment they receive. It is amazing to see how the children
continue to push themselves to the limit by overcoming their
disabilities. Recently commonwealth fever took hold as a number
of Acheru children attended a sports gala for children with
special needs. The Acheru patients had a wonderful time and were
capable of physical tasks beyond the expectations of the staff
who accompanied them. |
