There is a shortage of milk in Madagascar as it is but given that both orphanages need to provide “First stage baby milk” to those infants that are brought in imminently after birth, the provision of adequate nutrition is a high priority issue that these assocations are facing at present. They often rely solely on the milk brought in from Europe by director associates and/or volunteers travelling into the country.RFI recognise the hard work, time and effort that each orphanage is putting in to care for abandoned twins. The next delivery of Milk from Europe for Fananantenane is only in November and this does depend on funding. As such RFI arranged yesterday for 30 cartons of Nestle Guigoz milk powder to be delivered to the orphanage to ensure support is there until the next delivery arrives.
Today, the family of Mr Lewis along with friends visiting from Mauritius and myself visited the orphanage to deliver the milk and also assisted Claudia and other staff with feeding the babies. See photos of both Cathy and Charlotte Lewis feeding an 18 month old baby named Toavina
Also see a great photo of Nicolas Lewis picured in bright blue playing football outside with the other boys at the orphanage; making fun use of the sponsored balls from skretting feed supplies.
