In Assiut, a young girl struggled with a chronic skin condition that was closely tied to her fragile psychological state. Despite countless visits to doctors, nothing seemed to help.
Then, something changed. She joined the Valuable Girl Project, where she was paired with a “big sister” who offered her more than educational support—she gave her love, attention, and a safe space to express herself. Within just a few weeks, the girl’s skin condition improved dramatically.
He asked if she had changed her routine or started new medication. The answer was simple: the nurturing environment and emotional support she received through the project had transformed her mental well-being, which in turn healed her body. The doctor even wrote a note of thanks to the Valuable Girl Project, wishing it continued success.
The doctor even wrote a note of gratitude: “All thanks and appreciation to the Valuable Girl Project in partnership with the Baladi CDA. I hope for its expansion and continued success.”
This story resonated deeply with me, after I witnessed something similar with someone close to me who was healed after their mental state improved.
It’s a powerful reminder of the healing power of love, rooted in Jesus’ words: “A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another.” (John 13:34)
The bond between the two girls is a living embodiment of this commandment. The big sister didn’t just provide practical help; she gave unconditional love and care. That love—which reflects the love of God—brought emotional healing and even physical restoration.
