Members of the African-Hungarian Union and Hungarian volunteer doctors visited the St. Kizito children’s home

Mónika L. Novák was part of a delegation which visited a children’s home in Mbale, globoport.hu writes. The doctors, Dr Zsófia Kapi, Dr Zita Bagi, and paramedic Attila Gáspár examined the children one by one; the change of the season caused many kids to have bronchitis, cold, and upper respiratory illnesses, but none of the children had diabetes or malaria, and the number of HIV positive children didn’t increase.

After the children were examined and medications were given, the doctors gave every child a little present,
collected by the African-Hungarian Union and donated by several people in Hungary, as well as by the supporting parents of the children.

Many children got personal presents from their supporting parents, like Adrian, who was happy to get a toy truck and a bubble pipe; Aisa opened the cookies first, and looked for her dolls, while Agnes, wearing sunglasses and a pink hat, was drawing top models with her pen which had top models on it.

There were presents for everyone, and the 20-year-old Brandon, who still lives in the home due to the several hardships he had to endure at such a young age, got supplies which help him to continue his studies: notebooks, pens, and some toiletries. The twins, Odongo and Opio, played on their piccolos, with toy cars, and, of course, played football as well.

Moreen and Theresa acted like queens and didn’t understand what the fuss was about. John Valentine could not participate in the games due to his illness, but got a giraffe patterned cushion and a stuffed giraffe. Thanks to the sponsors Emma, Anita, and Paul can go to the school for orphans, and were full of joy. During Mónika’s previous visit Anita Evelyn had malaria, but already recovered, and put her new slippers on her bare feet.
The boys opened the boxes and then distributed anything they could find among themselves: toothbrushes, toothpastes, soaps, and a great amount of pens, pencils, and paper. But the most precious presents were the candies and the ball. The nun, who is also their teacher, told Mónika that the boys do well in school, and they are on the same level with the others.
