This will be the first in a series of posts about Nancy, because since the day we met her- she stole our hearts! Nancy is about as tall as a 4 year old and wears her messy ponytail on the top of her head. She barely talks and is the smallest in the school by the river. One day at lunch, I noticed her plate was divided perfectly, with only half gone. I asked a teacher if she was going to finish and her teacher said that they let Nancy take half of her meal home since she most likely will not have any other food that day. Nancy always returns the next day with her plate. As the week went on, we found out that Nancy is so malnourished that she is actually 8 years old. Nancy is one of our concerns for seeing a doctor as soon as possible and trying to figure out how we can help her regain some health.
That little half plate of food just slays me. But when you think about it, Nancy is a survivor. Her actions show forethought and discipline, something many of the kids in this country are sorely lacking. I think God has big plans for Nancy.
