This blog is dedicated to a special woman whose name was Robinah. She was the Grandmother to very many children, including some orphans. Samuel was one of them. Samuel's father died of AIDS when he was around four years of age. He was brought to HUM by his mother, who was very sick with the virus herself. She left the children with her mother, Robinah, their Grandmother.
Robinah has always been active in the women's group at the church and likes singing a lot. She enjoys studying the Bible and learning more, but her reading is not very good. She attended every Bible study that she could to learn more. She enjoyed helping out during crusades with house to house evangelism, and was involved in any way that she could be. She loved the Lord, Jesus, and it showed in her life. She had a problem with high blood pressure and heart disease. The Lord took her home about three weeks ago and now Samuel and the other orphans that were living with her have no one taking care of them. We asked Samuel's mother to come and take care of them but she has refused to stay there and just takes off and leaves them for days at a time.
Samuel has given up on even wanting to live until the last few days. He has become sick with malaria twice since the Grandmother died and has been on an I.V. both times. He has been refusing to stay at school, does not want to eat, and his CD4 count dropped from 300 down to 15 in the three weeks time. This is very concerning. I remember when Junior died his CD4 count was too low.
One of our staff members, Nancy, has volunteered to help look after him and we have been praying with him and talking with him with hopes that he will gain and come around. Today I was so happy to see him at the youth Bible group and he even looked so much better. I ask for your prayers for continued improvement for him and his younger brother (who is also infected), Edigar Francis.
