Peter received his first vitamin last week. Peter is the orphan that does all of the photography for our site! Many of the children haven’t been able to take the vitamins because there has been an outbreak of ringworms among the children. The vitamins and the ringworm medication do not mix well, so they are just now beginning to regularly take them.
