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! <\/p>\n
I’ll never forget
\nwhen I met Robyn and Gerry Richter in Swaziland. They are the most wonderful joy filled with
\npeople you would ever want to meet. Robyn kept saying, \u201cI’m just a common housewife who wanted to do
\nsomething to make a difference.\u201d What an incredible difference she has
\nmade! She and her husband have saved
\nover 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
\nbit how they started the ministry in her own words:<\/p>\n
In August 1992, an
\nabandoned, 4 month old boy found his way into our home. He was extremely
\nmal-nourished, neglected and deprived. He weighed only 3.4 KGs (7.5 lbs)! As I
\nnursed him back to life, he found a very special place in our hearts and lives.
\nWhen he was well and gaining weight and the threat of death had been removed
\nfrom his life, we tried desperately to find a good family to take him in, as at
\nthis point we had 3 of our own children and a foster son, to care for. <\/em><\/p>\n
