A Wednesday new arrival, a precious foundling, has brought great joy to the Happy House and to our Elizabeth back in the UK.
Mama writes:” It was pouring with rain, windy and dark. Billy and I were working hard on some facts and figures when his phone rang.
It was the Children’s Officer from Malindi.
He informed Billy that a baby girl had been abandoned a month ago and had been in Malindi Hospital as she only weighed 1.5kg.
Now she weighs 2.2kgs so the time has come for her to be discharged into care. Could we take here? Yes, of course, we will always have room for another.

The nurses at the hospital were crying as we were setting out on our way home saying they were delighted she is going to Happy House but sad she was leaving them. We invited them to visit any time.
We were told the baby is so good she eats and sleeps well, hardly ever cries.
But what to call her?

She works tirelessly raising awareness and funds. Travelling around speaking to different groups, sometimes a ladies group, another time a men’s group or in a school.
She was christened Elizabeth.
We decided yesterday to honour our very loving and caring Elizabeth by calling our new arrival Elizabeth Anne.
As she grows I know she will have the same loving and caring ways as her namesakes.

Elizabeth writes: To have such a beautiful baby named for me and for my lovely Anne, has made my heart sing.
Anne was a truly beautiful person, who adiated sunshine. Sweet, generous, funny and infinitely kind, she adored children and they adored her.

She died from cancer at 46. Much too soon. Too soon to leave her own two daughters, and all those of us who loved her, and too soon to know the three grandchildren to whom she would have been the most amazing Granny Annie.
