Please don't die.

I recently received a disturbing email from my study abroad professor. The little boy who I wrote a previous blog about, Mfanakhona, is HIV positive. He is 6 years old and an amazing little boy. He is in the hospital now for meningitis and it doesnt look good. Two other children were recently buried because they lost their battle. South Africa is losing its children because of AIDS and this little boy who became a great friend to me is going to become another statistic of this terrible epidemic.

Being so far away, I feel there is nothing I can do. My professor asked her students to pray; and coming from her says a lot.

Ill keep you updated.

Thanks :/
