An American missionary accused of contributing to African babies' deaths by treating them for malnutrition despite not being a doctor has hit back at the women suing her.

Renee Bach, 35, is from Virginia but moved to Africa when she was a teenager to work as a missionary. In 2009, she set up the Serving His Children clinic in Masese to treat children and babies who were close to death because of malnutrition.

In a lawsuit filed in January at the High Court in Jinja, mothers Gimbo Zubeda and Kakai Annet allege that she caused their babies deaths and the deaths of dozens more.

True but where are they in reality? All those white org’s going there to help but where are they? BLM does not matter in Africa? Well it doesn’t matter in Chicago anyway.

Good judgement comes from bad experience. Africa is a ship hole and has always been so. If you know what is good for you stay away they can’t be helped. The traits of the gene pool are transportable.

They have provided no evidence of their claims. The things she admits to doing are all things that can be done by minimally trained phlebotomists and nurse’s aides.

Including using a stethoscope to take pulses or blood pressure. Again, minimal training required.

White coat? Seriously worn by lab techs everywhere.

Note that the women are being assisted by a group called “No White Saviors”.

Time to take the instruction to shake even the dust off your feet from unreceptive towns.

Kevin Carter

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_vulture_and_the_little_girl
March 1993.
It is a photograph of a frail famine-stricken boy, initially believed to be a girl, who had collapsed in the foreground with a vulture eyeing him from nearby. The child was reported to be attempting to reach a United Nations feeding center about a half mile away in Ayod, Sudan,(now South Sudan), in March 1993. The picture won the Pulitzer Prize for Feature Photography award in 1994. Carter died by suicide four months after winning the prize.

Readers could be forgiven for not understanding that some of these parents did not want their children to survive.

Long ago in a mostly forgotten class, the subject of some primitive tribe that believed having a photo taken would steal part of your soul.

At the time it was considered so hilarious, the topic persisted the entire semester and beyond.

Years later I changed my thoughts on the subject.

The work of this photographer is a good example.
Clearly, he is often taking something from his subjects, what I do not know?

Dignity?

Not so much the captured photons, many photos of starving people are less bothersome and he won a Pulitzer Prize for it, what did the child receive?
Something in the underlying form about a healthy person making money from starving child?

The title is a clickbait half truth.

It seems this lady posed as a medical specialist who could look after malnourished babies.

But she has no medical experience or knowledge and what she did was harmful for some babies.

Good question and it’s the answer to why there’s so much hatred and blame towards whites-because that’s where the guilt, and thus money is. I have yet to hear of a majority black charity raising money to help other blacks in Africa, though collectively, they could well afford to.

I found the article below from 2010.

http://theroanokestar.com/2010/06/24/serving-%E2%80%9Chis-children%E2%80%9D-in-uganda-2/

Excerpt:

“Hunger was only one problem the children faced. They suffered from disease, and Renee added a Medical Program to her mission. She stocked up on common medicines and paid for testing and treatment at a clinic. Realizing this was not enough, she hired a Ugandan nurse. Now parents could bring their sick children to the Mission House on Wednesday mornings for free medical care. Those who needed more care were taken to the clinic and fees were paid by SHC.”

For me, the article was hard to find at the link. When I finally found it, I read the woman is being sued by Ugandan ‘reputational terrorists,’ according to her attorney, David Gibbs III. I don’t know what that term means. In my search for the meaning, I found the viral story about a missionary who attacked a hotel worker with physical and verbal abuse of a racist nature. The N-word was heard all over the hotel where it occurred. Maybe this is the motivation for the ‘reputational terrorism’ against this female missionary. The article was poor in details.
