A genuinely sorry sight
I always worry when I see men carrying babies. Invariably it seems to mean that something is horribly wrong with the mother.
We live quite close to a hospital but I only really notice it about once a week….still, it’s enough. Once we were driving to work and noticed two men, one carrying a baby and one with a very large child strapped to his back. Look closer, it wasn’t a child but a skeletal woman slung up in a bit of tattered fabric. This morning on the way to work I noticed a woman curled up on the grass lying with her head on the kerb. I thought, she is crying and might have just lost a child. Moments later I drove past a man walking down the street towards a local clinic, with a baby strapped to his back and a couple of water bottles with what looked like milk in his hand. I don’t know if they are connected, but I am so sorry to see it.
15% of the adult population have HIV/AIDS here. Some reports say it is coming on for 20%. That is one in every 5 people. There are literally millions of orphans. But if you are Malawian HIV/AIDS is just another thing to add to the list of stuff that will kill you. Most people have malaria, many have bilhartisa, there is cholera and TB and dysentery. I understand a Malawian’s life expectancy is around 45 (a recent improvement from 38).
I do not know what to make of all that.

Lets face the reality people, let us abstain from sex, if we all want to prevent or fight against this disease, then let us abstain. dont just go and chase after the women. and to you women why can’t you behave in the way God wanted you to behave? why are you so addicted when it comes to the things like sex? you are so into it. Good things comes to those who wait. it is so sad to note that todays girls and women have gone wild, sexy pants showing their nakedness publicly, that is trash! I am furious about the whole thing infact, it is the time of not biting about the bush. A man is a sexually active being, men are easly carried out with sex, when a woman wears something arousingly, a man is attracted, just like that. let us stop this to men who likes women, better find another way of calming your sexuall drives, consult the therapists, we are tired talking about HIV And sex. God help us!
