Susan, Edward and the New Twins

I had a friend encourage me to share more about Susan, Edward and the new twins.

Susan and Edward were born to a mentally handicapped woman, (her disability was due to malaria). Their mother is still alive, although she has a slight physical handicap as well that would be repairable with surgery. The mother was being taken advantage of in the village and that is how she gave birth to her 2 children. When the government asked her who the father was, she told them, now that mans family is wishing the children much harm. They are denying the children. The government sent them here to keep them safe from harm.

The twins, twins in the Bugandan culture are usually a huge blessing. There are special ceremonies celebrating the births. When the mother passes away due to children birth, the oppisite happens, and the culture then believes that they must be cursed. The villagers then call upon the local witch doctor to 'cleanse' the children. The children were placed here to keep them safe as well.

These are the realities here, and sometimes they become overwhelming, sometimes I get angry, sometimes I cry, and most times I just cry out to Jesus to save this world.

Please be in prayer about these things, and if someone feels led to help Susan and Edwards mother, please get in touch with HCU, as we would like to help her as well as her children.

Blessings,
Angie
