Sonel

Harold recieved this email this morning. I just thought that someone out there might be interested.

Sonel may be moving into My Father's House Orphanage at the Light & Peace Mission in Bon Repos, Haiti. If anyone would like information about adopting Sonel, please call Carol Hawthorne at Dayspring Ministries: #908-879-6116
Sonel with his friend Frank from Hackettstown, NJ.

Sonel is a beautiful baby with quite the personality. He doesn’t like to sit still because during his stay at Grace Children’s Hospital he has to learned how to walk. He is also a little bit of a trouble maker at meal times as he impatiently grabs for his food.
Sonel is full of life and when he looks at you with his big brown eyes and delightful smile, you know he’s a blessing from God to all who work at Grace Children’s Hospital.
Although Sonel is a happy baby, his last name reveals his unfortunate situation. “Innocent” is the name that the hospital gives to a child who is without a last name. Sonel was found abandoned in a severely malnourished state near the Grace school on January 26, 2007. Due to the fact that he was found alone, the staff does not know where Sonel is from or how old he is. They estimate that he was born around March of 2006.
No one comes to visit Sonel, but he is loved nonetheless by the mamas and other staff members at the hospital. Sonel has now fully recovered from malnourishment. In fact, he eats so much that the mamas call him “petit cochon” which means “little piglet.”
Grace Children’s Hospital has brought Sonel from sickness to health and, in the absence of his family, continues to love and care for him until a place is found for him to go. Each year the hospital takes in many sick children who end up being abandoned. In May, 2007 there were eight such children at Grace. One must wonder what would happen to little ones like Sonel if Grace Children’s Hospital weren’t there. Praise God that International Child Care has the ability to help “the least of these.” .
