Baby Boy in a Box

Baby Boy in a Box, Rose’s baby is normally nestled in a cardboard box which is set by the fence in the back of the kitchen while she works. A few days before we left Tharaka I heard him crying in the kitchen. I picked him up and held his wet blistered body. Heat rash? No, chicken pox. Want to know his name? His age? He is not named yet. Rose will not tell us his age or name him because she believes he could die if she tells us. I will promise that we are going to make sure this beautiful baby boy is given the chance to live. But as he grows up he will need a bigger box just like us. EOFO is growing and we need a bigger box. We need rooms immediately to house our children. Will you help?
