A New Addition to the Clear Path Family

Posted by: James Hathaway

If you have seen the home page of our web site, you have probably seen the smiling face of Ho Thi Ha. Ha was injured when she was three years old by a white phosphorous bomb. Her burns were so severe that the calves of her legs fused to to the backs of her thighs. She spent much of her life on her knees until one day a few years ago she hitchhiked to a Clear Path Outreach Clinic...in the last year, thanks to CPI support, she started walking again for the first time since she was three ....you can read more of her story here and here.

A couple weeks ago, "our" Ha became a mother! We could not be more happy to add another little one to the Clear Path family.

When I was visiting central Vietnam with a small group in August, we heard a rumor that Ha was pregnant, but were unable to confirm the happy news because her village was cut off by flooding at the time. On our way to see her, the path of the Nissan Patrol was literally blocked by a small spontaneous river that crossed the road in front of us and would have easily reached up to the car's rearview mirrors. I am so thrilled the rumor turned out to be true and Ha has a healthy baby. Congratulations, Ha!
