Violet (or Vine as she calls herself) was seven years old when this picture was taken.

Some years ago violet’s mother died in Lusaka and violet remained in hospital for four months, she had lost her will to live. The poor child was paralized and could not walk. However, with the help of her uncle (who himself is nearly blind with cataract) she slowly recovered. Violet came to Ebenezer last year because her uncle was too poor to care for her.

Violet now lives happily with the  other Ebenezer orphans
