Deng: Where
do orphans sleep?
In October of 2006 Make Way Partners' nurse (Lual) conducted an orphan death survey. We were trying to ascertain exactly how many orphans had died from exposure, or from not having a roof over their head at night. We did not include deaths that took place from natural causes or disease. Nurse Lual's census disclosed the fact that 278 orphans died at night from exposure between January to October of 2006. The number one cause of death was wild dog or hyena attack.
 To avoid hyenas, children find trees at night to sleep in. Our children often try to sleep in trees because hyenas cannot climb trees and thus they feel safer at night. One evening, a little boy named Deng was brought to our clinic while our medical missionary team was on the ground with Kimberly Smith. He had fallen from the tree in which he tried to sleep. His head was split open and his skull was exposed. He would have died had these doctors not been there to treat him. Praise God! Our dormitories will not only protect our precious orphans from the slave raiders, but they will also protect them from hyenas and falling from trees! Click here to donate to the Boys Dorms!
