28/6/2013
The date marked above whisper outreach team together with
the volunteers from UK Adela and marketa visited a family in Kivubuka village.
The mother and the daughter who live on their own in their brother’s house were
both tested HIV/AIDS positive and were in terribly bad condition. The mother
Mirabu Mbwali was more weaker, could not walk on her own without any one
supporting or going by the wall. All her ball and socket joints are very weak
and loose, than her daughter Shamina Namuwanga whom we founding doing all work
at home that’s cooking going to fetch water, she even walked long distances
like three to four km to pick pills both for her mother and her self. It gives
a sad feeling because it is not easy for
such a little girl of twelve years so minding and taking cake for her life and
fighting for the life of her mum. It is said that each time Shamina went to
pick pills for her mum and misses to get, could cry, sit down on the floor
saying and asking, what is this? What is
my mum going to take? I don’t
want her to die. She is the only one I have in my life. Shamina of twelve years
exclaiming in anger. They both had a feaver, and cauphed, there was no food in the house at
all, no fruits to give them strength since they were on those strong pills. And
they claimed that this was their major problem among others.
We had to go back that day to find means of helping this
family.
The following day we received a call from the local Dr. who
had directed us to this family telling
and giving us shocking news that Shamina died in the night.
It was unbelievable
but it was a real truth. It was so sad and shocking,
However, on the 1/7/2013 we went to see Mirabu the late
Shamina’s mother. She was very sorrowful. Felt very bad because we wanted to
see THIS GIRL GROW UP. The mother taking a deep breath told us how painfunful
Shamina’s death was, she complained about having pain and a burning in the
heart, she asked for water from her mum, after that she went out on the
verander to do susu, came inside fell on her mother’s thighs saying mum, am
feeling bad, am dying mum, she was restless crying for a cold drink but they
could not get it. All this started late evening and she died at 10:00pm leaving
Mirabu her mum in great sorrow and tears.
When we went there we bought some food, beans and sugar. We
also gave her some counselling words to encourage her.
