Charlie Chikankata has a lot to answer for! Here I am in the heart of rural Zambia, working for The Salvation Army as the Manager/Hospital Administrator of Chikankata Health Services. Not so much an intellectuall reflection rather a kind of journal of the unexpected.

On Friday, Luke went to Maternal and Child Health Centre within the Hospital to get weighed. He is now 73cm and weighs 8.5kg. Luke is five months.

On Friday, a child was brought to the Hospital. He was 4 years old. He weighed the same as Luke (8.5kg). Unfortunately he passed away on Friday night.

HIV/AIDS is a horrible disease, which destroys the lives of innocent victims.

4 years old and only 8.5 kg - what a thorough tragedy.
