I have also been working on trying to figure out how to get a passport for an orphan. One of the little girls at the house is having serious problems with her ears. She needs to go to an ear specialist in South Africa. The problem is she must have a passport in order to cross the border into South Africa. Her father is still living, but isn’t willing to help us in the process to get her passport.
Yesterday, I left the house with Luis and searched the city for her father. When we finally found him, he was at work. He works for a government warehouse that handles all imported rice, grains, and things of that nature. As we approached the gates to this warehouse, we were greeted by a government police officer with a machine gun, that I saw as a little bit of an overkill. We talked and asked 4-5 people at the warehouse and finally found someone who took us to meet the girl’s dad.
Her father didn’t seem to want to help us with the process. I finally convinced him to give us the information that we needed, by telling him that his little girl is going to end up deaf, if we don’t get her to a doctor in South Africa. He gave us the information that we needed, but he still needs to get a new government identification card. This card can take almost a year to receive from the government office. The process can be hurried along if bribed are paid to the government. Aninha needs to see a doctor soon, please pray that we can figure out a way to get her passport quickly, so that she can get medical assistance for her ears.
