Malawi- Pam Larson

I would like you to meet Josephine. She is 6 years old and has HIV/AIDS. She lives with her parents in Chitipa. They also have HIV/AIDS. I met Josephine and her family while I was in Africa during a “home visit” with World Relief.
The purpose of our visit was to bring gifts of food, encouragement and a new dress for Josephine. The peach colored dress with the orange flower, shown here, fit her perfectly! As I have reflected on this trip and what my purpose was, I believe it was to bring hope to this little girl through a dress. A dress that brought so much joy despite her circumstances. I am grateful God chose me to make a difference in Josephine’s life.
