Fridays are our favorite, especially #fieldnotesfriday! Today, we bring you a story from Dondo Clinic in Mozambique, where Lindsey, a member of our staff, served in January.⁠
⁠
“Project Life caretakers Maria and Fatima met me at the doors of the hospice ward. Maria held a pot of soup between her hands. She asked which one of us, me or my teammate, would share a word. I raised my hand. ‘Great!’ she responded. ‘Just say whatever God lays on your heart.’⁠
⁠
In the waiting area, I noticed a girl lying on a bench. She looked about three. Her bones showed through her hospital gown. Maria traced my stare. ‘She goes by Fati. Turned nine last week. Here for complications with HIV.’⁠
⁠
We moved closer to the bench. ‘My Fati!’ exclaimed Fatima. ‘Out of your bed again I see! How are you today?’ Fati gave a weak smile. ‘Not so good then,’ Fatima continued. ‘I know just the thing to help…’”⁠
