The beginning of the week saw a call from Lilly who you know that we found in the street begging and we returned her to her village.
Lilly was sick following her attempt to get her ARV medication from the local health centre to maintain her health with AIDS. She and many other patients had been sent away as they could not pay £3 for registration. We felt it was a corruption charge and today met someone else in the same position who was told ‘’Bring a big cockerel or 5,000 shillings or go away and don’t come back’’.
We are trying to get more details and will contact the US donor who is giving the free medication in this country.
Lilly had her hut that was funded by 2 very generous donations last time I was here and she sends her thanks again to those people.
