Malawi, revisited

What else to say? I can't cry anymore. I want to scream of the unfairness, the helplessness, the hopelessness. A man beating the odds in his country, bettering himself with education in order to help his country. And for what end? To become yet another statistic? To serve as yet another illustration of the disparity between 1st and 3rd world?

This is what we received from Jones' wife.

I would like to inform you that Jones W. Kazembe has passed away on 8th July at Mangochi, burial on 9th July at his home area Phalombe Southern region of Malawi.
It was ashort illness, he had malaria on 7th of July, during night I found that he is failing to wake up, to turn up the neck and even to produce the word, we take him to Monkey-bay hospital where they discovered that it was Meninjitis, due to lack of medicine in our hospital we transfered to Mangochi District hospital and he died on 8th at 4:22am.

Am the wife
Jolly

  2. Oh no. That is so shocking. Thinking of you and you are so right - it makes us feel so helpless and hopeless - but would he want that? I hope you can find comfort somehow. His poor wife ...
