In the NPR story, correspondent Nurith Aizenman detailed how Bach had volunteered at a missionary-run orphanage in Uganda for 9 months, came home to Virginia and then at age 19 returned to Uganda to set up her own charity – it felt like a calling from God, she told NPR in an interview. She named her charity"Serving His Children," began providing free hot meals to neighborhood children and says she got a call from a staffer at the local children's hospital asking if she could help out with several severely malnourished children.
NPR's story covers those efforts at Bach's center – and interviews specialists who told us that treating malnourished children is a risky proposition because of their extremely vulnerable state.
