Subira's First Bath
So many of us take for granted the littlest things. Running water, heat, childhood playtime. Well, one of our children, a 6-year-old girl named Subira, had not experienced any of those until just a couple nights ago. Needing a meal, a bed to sleep in and a bath for the night, we took her in and gave her the treatment! Hot bath water, bubbles, balloons, toy cars and candies galore made for one special night for this beautiful young lady. And wouldn't you know it? In several minutes she went from looking tired and sad to splashing, playing, joking, singing and reveling in the steady stream of water coming from the faucet. A NEW LITTLE GIRL! Amazing how so few external comforts can make such a transformation internally. Such a blessing to be able to provide her with these things through the generosity and thoughtfulness of donors. On behalf of Subira and Neema International, thank you for your continued support!!!
