Another death
As I may have written before, I know more people who have died since living in Africa, than for the last 10 years of my life before. This week we received that sad news that Mr. Tembo, our electrician died. We knew he was very sick and the last time he came to do business with Benedict, he wasn't doing well. He did got to UTH (University Teaching Hospital) in Lusaka. Kamau had visited him a couple of days before and he was very jaundiced. Rather than being released to go home, he was Released to go Home/heaven. He was a very nice man and he was working for another group from the states who are doing work about 20 miles from here.
He has 2-3 young children. He used to bring his little daughter with him when he came. He and his wife were also taking care of about 3 neices and nephews. Whether he died of AIDS or not, we don't know. But he is another man in his prime, with a much needed skill and educated, who is no longer able to help build this society. Please pray for his family.
