This sweet little guy will be etched in our memories for a very long time. Thokozani Dimba passed away recently from malaria. Deaths from malaria are very common in Malawi especially in the wet, humid, rainy season. Mosquitoes breed in the latrines and anywhere where there is standing water. Kids love to play around the water puddles and really don't pay much attention to the mosquitoes buzzing around. It is so sad that there is no mosquito control in Malawi like there is in many other countries. We will miss Thokozani. He was not an orphan, but the grandson of the elderly lady who has given so much to our orphan program. He was always sitting on the perimeter of our group of orphans listening to the Bible stories. His smile was so magnetic and we are so sad that his life was cut short. We are praying that his family will be comforted and given the hope that God really cares for them and wants them to have a better life.
