A star in the sky

On February 9 december 2014 Malita peeled like triplets in the Nkhoma hospital. This was her sixth childbirth, So she has nine children now. The triplets are born very prematurely and the kids have a very low birth weight. Malita is almost 2 months at the Kangaroo Care Unit of the hospital remained, but then wanted to go home to look after her other children. Unfortunately, she was dismissed without new appointment and without additional help.

A month after she was released from the hospital, I manage to find the mother and her babies, to see how it goes. It was immediately clear that it failed to provide for all children. Her husband had left her and she failed on her own to provide enough food. We agree that they regularly come back to the hospital and I promise to help her. I provide the family food, blankets, clothes and money for transport to hospital. Unfortunately Malita continues despite the extra food to keep a shortage of nursing.

On Tuesday 14 April we agree that the weakest little baby I take it to the house Africare. Trinity is the third of the triplet and is born with a weight of 994 gram. She has severe malaria, severe anemia, severe pneumonia and severe malnutrition. I bring her to the hospital and pray for her. After a few days she begins to heal from malaria and pneumonia, Unfortunately, the doctor found out that they also have heart problems. The combination of all these diseases was too much, and at its 23 April 2015, about 11 PM dies Trinity.

I am almost 10 Days went with Trinity. I took care of her and I just loved her so much as my other daughters. I slept with her in the hospital and kept her day and night eye. The pain and coldness that I felt while she was dying, is something I can not explain. Trinity died when she brought a piece of me with her. I will never forget and will always love her hair. I know that she is now in a good place, but the pain I feel is hard.

On February 25 April 2015 she was buried in her village.
