Tumaini kam 2018 zu uns. Sein Name bedeutet „Hoffnung“. Als er zu uns kam, war er knapp 2 Jahre alt und wog nur 5 kg. Seine Mutter starb kurz nach seiner Geburt. Der Vater gab sich viel Mühe, den Säugling großzuziehen, was nicht einfach ist, denn Babynahrung ist teuer. Tumaini ist sehr stark entwicklungsverzögert. Er hat außerdem Klumpfüße. Seit er bei uns ist, fördern wir Tumaini und freuen uns über jeden noch so kleinen Fortschritt, den er macht. Inzwischen fängt er an zu sprechen, zu krabblen und zu laufen, worüber wir uns riesig freuen. Tumaini ist unsere kleine Hoffnung!
Tumaini joined our family in 2018. His name means „hope“ in Swahili. He was almost 2 years old when we received him and he only weighed 12 lbs! His mother had died shortly after giving birth to him. His father tried his best to raise the infant. But baby formular is very expensive and hard to get when you live in an African village. Tumaini is very delayed in his development. He also has club feet. Since he has come to live with us we are supporting his development in all ways possible and we are so excited about every developmental step he takes! He has finally started to crawl, to walk and to talk! Tumaini is our little hope!
