Pathetique case 1

 

One of the many pathetic and disturbing cases at the clinic.

 

The mother of this young girl, who gave birth at the age of 16, died of AIDS.  No one was left in her family to teach her how to feed and look after her new child who came to the Clinic badly undernourished.  Johnny's insightful translator Jess, realised the root of the problem.  A middle-aged local volunteer taught the young mother to cook and feed the baby who then went on to make a rapid recovery.  See the next photo for a revealing picture of the young baby.
