<br />
In some parts of Africa, the birth of twins is not good news. Perhaps because a marginally nourished mother was unable to produce enough milk to care for two infants, some tribes developed the custom of letting one child die. They wouldn't kill it, per se, just set it in the bush and leave it to its own fate. Among the Dinka in this part of South Sudan, a child set aside in this manner was referred to as "becoming a lion." <br />
<br />
To combat the practice, and reverse the stigma that often attached to the mother of twins, the clinic of the Loreto schools outside of Rumbek started a special program for mothers of twins, assuring proper nutrition and health care for the mother and both children. On this day, there were more than a dozen mothers with their twins who came to the clinic, where twins are celebrated as a blessing.

  • 9 March 2022, Nyíregyháza, Hungary: A newborn child, 7 days old today, sleeps in its new temporary home in Nyíregyháza. With the recent influx of refugees arriving in Hungary from the east following the Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Nyíregyháza Kertváros is working hard to accommodate and support people arriving in the city. 23-year-old mother Paulina alongside her husband, a new-born baby and two daughters, is one of the beneficiaries, staying in a house offered as accommodation for incoming refugees by congregants from Nyíregyháza Kertváros. Being 8-months pregnant when starting the journey from Ukraine to neighboring Hungary, Paulina gave birth to her third child the same day she and her family crossed the border. Having started going into labour while still being on the way, Paulina was rushed from the border crossing to a nearby hospital in Fehérgyarmat in order to give birth. Hospital staff reportedly said it was a miracle the child and mother are both healthy and well.

Like several locations around the troubled country, the combination of fighting and flooding has worsened food insecurity in the area. DanChurchAid, a member of the ACT Alliance, is helping families in Akobo with food and livelihood projects, including cash grants, aimed at lowering vulnerability and increasing food security. It carries out that program in partnership with Nile Hope, a South Sudanese organization.

  • 9 March 2022, Nyíregyháza, Hungary: 23-year-old mother Paulina from Ukraine holds her newborn child, in their new temporary home in Nyíregyháza. With the recent influx of refugees arriving in Hungary from the east following the Russian invasion of neighbouring Ukraine, the Evangelical Lutheran congregation in Nyíregyháza Kertváros is working hard to accommodate and support people arriving in the city. 23-year-old mother Paulina alongside her husband, a new-born baby and two daughters, is one of the beneficiaries, staying in a house offered as accommodation for incoming refugees by congregants from Nyíregyháza Kertváros. Being 8-months pregnant when starting the journey from Ukraine to neighboring Hungary, Paulina gave birth to her third child the same day she and her family crossed the border. Having started going into labour while still being on the way, Paulina was rushed from the border crossing to a nearby hospital in Fehérgyarmat in order to give birth. Hospital staff reportedly said it was a miracle the child and mother are both healthy and well.
