New Life (1/22/2010 8:37 am CST)

From Trace Thurlby

Last night, the second baby was born at our transitional village in Croix des Bouquets. Weighing in at 6 lbs 8 oz, Maliko arrived just after midnight. It brings great joy having a small part in creating a safe place for a child to enter the world.

Took a short break from logistics and inventory management to play with a child this morning. A 2 year old named Kiki just needed to be held. She’s no different than my kids or yours. The same tears, the same beautiful smile, the same need to be loved. That’s why we are here and that’s why you give. Thank you!
