Aber (July 11th)

Aber (pronounced a-bear) is an Acholi name which means beautiful and is the very fitting name of one of my Ugandan nieces, the three year old daughter of Jolly's brother.

In a very unfortunate accident on Saturday, Aber tipped a boiling pot of rice over herself, burning her stomach, back and parts of her limbs. Thankfully, most of the burns are first degree - although some parts are third degree.

I just ask you to please remember this brave little girl in your thoughts as she recovers in hospital.
