Help build the Community Health Clinic in the Kilung Shedra
This little girl was famous for her “Big Belly” in the community. She was once starving near death, but no one was aware of it.
Her family caught Tuberculosis two years ago, after they gave up their nomad life and moved to town to send their oldest girl to school. During the TB treatment, her mom became pregnant.
