"Counting on what you've done for me, my family and Sierra Leone as a whole i name this newly born rose as Vicki Ann aka SPECIAL to show my love and appreciation for you Mama Vicki. You are one in a million, keep up the good work with Nazareth House Apostolate.. we all in salone loves you."

I can assure you that Grandmama Vicki is quite ecstatic over this arrival PLUS  it was a year ago on this day that her last granddaughter was born.  


 Dear "Special" we all wish you the best, know that you are never alone - you are always bathed in love.   




God bless you little one! 



And Kadijah, Oh My Gosh, traveling from Freetown to Kabala, arriving and delivering all in a span of less than a days time........   "You are one strong mama!"   



We are so proud of you!  Godspeed, heal fast.  



Thanks to all of you who gave special attention to this pregnancy, especially the ACW of St Augustine in Chico who paid the hospitalization, Esther de Laix - for the supplies for Kadijah (see Esther, Little Vicki is wrapped in Roger's blanket gift) and the many others who generously provided for this birth to be a safe and healthy one.
