Some of the children are a bit sick

 

Your prayers are needed for some of the sponsored children.  When they fall ill, they miss school time, and their education is affected.  Sometimes illnesses can take awhile to pass, because medication is not readily available.  The local clinics do what they can, but they are not well-prepared to handle many situations.  If treatment can’t be done locally, the person has to travel to town where there is a larger medical facility.  In many cases, people can’t afford to travel there to get treatment.  And, of course, if you can’t pay, then you don’t get treated.

Fortunately, YCVM-sponsored children have the resources to get treatment.  However, they still have to miss school.  If they are out of school too long, they might have to repeat their classes because they can’t pass the exam.  Please pray for them.
