On Tuesday, our beautiful ex-orphan returned to Ithumba and proudly introduced us to her equally beautiful ba girl, who we have named Ola,” the organisation wrote. While recollecting Olare’s story, they shared that her mother’s femur was shattered, likely a bullet, that left her paralysed. Olare was clinging to her side with ‘eyes wide in fear’. That’s when the rescuers brought the ba to the centre. “Despite the heartbreak she faced, Olare never let her past define her. She has an enormous heart and has always been an exceptional nanny, first at the Nursery, then at our Ithumba Reintegration Unit, and later to her friends’ wild-born babies. We are thrilled that she now has the opportunity to raise her own ba — and we know that she will be an excellent mother,” the organisation added.
