Our infant milk formula program didn’t start because of a great idea we had. It actually started when a grandmother brought her newly orphaned grand-daughter to Bright Vision, asking for help for the days-old baby in her arms. The girl’s mother had just died and there was no way to feed the little girl, named Brenda. We scraped together some funds and started purchasing formula. As word spread about the help offered to Brenda, more requests started to come in. Sadly the need was bigger than we thought, and we started to enroll infants. Over the years, the number was limited to 20, then 30, and is now 40.

But Brenda was our first, and now she’s a teenager (left in the picture below). The three other children pictured below were some of our infants enrolled over 10 years ago, pictured with our Director, Stanley.
