“Their stories are different, but fate – to this point, at least - has dealt these babies a similar unkind hand. Some have been severely beaten, leaving them with multiple fractures. One child, I’ll call Nika suffered from twelve (12) fractures to her tiny little body, by the time she was just three years old. But while her external wounds may cause severe physical pain, her internal light continues to shine. To my amazement Nika always has a smile lighting up her warm brown face. In fact, that child’s smile – her dimples - could light up an entire room.
Nika, like so many other orphans, was left for dead. But she defied death, and is being given a second chance at life with the help of David and Caroline Webb at Baby Haven.”

It's just simply amazing how a smile can be a light out of so much darkness. Especially the smile of a child.. I can't even imagine the feelings you must be experiencing!!!
