Lillian was fascinated by Egypt's exotic and colorful landscape, but she was appalled by the poverty of its people. Her resolve to care for bodies as well as souls crystalliezed oe day when she came across a dying Egyptian woman, holding her infant in her arms. The mother died before Lillian's eyes, and she took the sick and undernourished baby to her room where she could nurse the child back to health. This was the beginning of the now famous Assouit orphanage.
