GIVE THANKS - KENSSANE
How many times can one child evade death and have another chance of life? When God is on our side it could be endless. Kenssane is only four years old and yet she has had to fight death more times than most adults. Born with Down’s Syndrome and a hole in her heart, in a third world country meant she shouldn’t have survived. Malnourished due to being unable to feed well as a baby, but still she survived. Heart surgery after waiting more than a year to gain the appropriate weight and still she survived, chest after chest problem, hospital stay after hospital stay and yet we see this little lady is a fighter and she has Almighty God on her side.
Her name ,Kenssane, means ‘give thanks’ and that is so appropriate. We thank God for her and how he has given her back her life so many times in her young life. We give thanks because she is a bundle of joy and nothing can stop her. We give thanks for every day we get to care for each child in Zimpeto, just like Kenssane.
