With all of the horrible things happening to orphans and children around the world, there are wonderful people doing incredible things! I want to introduce you to two of them. For those of you coming with me to Swaziland in March or June, you will have the privilege of meeting them!

I’ll never forget
when I met Robyn and Gerry Richter in Swaziland. They are the most wonderful joy filled with
people you would ever want to meet. Robyn kept saying, “I’m just a common housewife who wanted to do
something to make a difference.” What an incredible difference she has
made! She and her husband have saved
over 100 babies to date. Just recently, they knew a Swazi mother was pregnant and that she didn’t want the baby. They had been keeping an eye on her and a friend saw her go into a house pregnant, and come out not! They ran inside, no baby. They ran outside to find a fresh pile of dirt. They dug down and found the baby alive with the cord still attached!  Here is a
bit how they started the ministry in her own words:

In August 1992, an
abandoned, 4 month old boy found his way into our home. He was extremely
mal-nourished, neglected and deprived. He weighed only 3.4 KGs (7.5 lbs)! As I
nursed him back to life, he found a very special place in our hearts and lives.
When he was well and gaining weight and the threat of death had been removed
from his life, we tried desperately to find a good family to take him in, as at
this point we had 3 of our own children and a foster son, to care for.

When we realised
that there was nowhere else for him to go, we decided to adopt him as our own
son. In November 1993, another little, abandoned boy found his way into our
home. This one was 12 months old and had been physically abused, also suffering
from neglect and kwashiorkor (extreme lack of protein in the diet). After
nursing him back to health, we realised that there was nowhere for him to go
and so we adopted him as well.
