Longoli’s Story:

As recorded by Ellie Coleman

Longoli (Paul’s sister) has been a part of our organization since the beginning, but went missing for 7 months in 2009. She developed a goiter due to an iodine deficiency and her mother became concerned and took her to Moroto (173 miles north of Masese) so that Longoli could be treated by a traditional doctor. When Heidi and I went to pick up the children from school, Paul told us that his mother, Marita, and Longoli had visited him the week before. We were ecstatic and relieved to hear the good news!

We went to Masese that day to visit Marita and Longoli, only to find Longoli, who is not yet three years old, all alone, covered in dirt, and fending for herself in the slums. Click HERE to read on…
