Update on Malaria

The malaria outbreak continues in to affect those associated with the Enfys Foundation in Murundu.  Sylvester Mwape (pictured on the left) was the first death that we heard about.  He is a nine year old boy who attended AWANA and the daily feeding program.  Last week a caretaker became ill on Sunday and died Monday morning.  Her child is currently hospitalized and on breathing machines.  So far these are the most severe cases that have been reported, but many more have been infected by this illness.  Hildah continues taking children across the border to the Democratic Republic of Congo to be treated.  This week she took four children with her.  STS is working with Joseph and Hildah to get much needed mosquito nets that can reduce the children's risk of becoming infected with Malaria.
