Merveille was also abandoned - she has a cyst that needs to be removed -it is not cancerous, they are waiting for her to gain weight and some age before they will operate. She is so beautiful.

Françis is 3 years old. He has been at Mpila since last October. He was abandoned in a village north of Brazza and a priest from a nearby village brought him to Mpila. He is doing well - the kids really dote on him, he is thriving!
