yesterday I watched as a boy not more than 16 years old died.
he died of malaria and diarrhea--the two most common killers in africa and two of the most preventable illnesses. apparently, he had gone to the clinic the day before but was unable to buy medicine due to poverty.
as a result, his young life was taken from him. his life could have been spared for less than $10.
i couldn't stop crying all day..
I'm currently living in Kigali working with the children of Hope For Life. If you'd like to have updates sent to your email, subscribe to my blog at the link on the bottom.
