A time to dance

The best part about the VVF surgeries is the celebration! When each lady has recovered from her surgery and she is dry, we hold a special ceremony in her honor. Each lady is given a new dress and headdress to wear. She gets a makeover in a way. Our discipler does their make-up and gives them a necklace and earrings to wear if she wishes. All this to symbolize her new life. She processes down the hospital corridors as we sing and clap. We all sing songs of rejoicing and praise. We clap and they dance. And then each woman is given time to share her story. We give God all the glory! It is simply beautiful. They are so happy and express such joy and gratitude. Its unique and special. These surgeries are life-changing. These women go home with a renewed sense of self-worth and value. One lady expressed how she was leaving the ship not only physically healed, but spiritually healed. Hallelujah!
