Small Contributions = Great Appreciation

 

Litinesi, a long-time Sinkhani health worker in Malawi, passed away quite suddenly a month ago. The simple, but heart-felt service, was held in front of the thatch-roofed home she shared with her husband and 7 children.

Dressed in royal blue and white uniforms, the local church choir (many of whom were Sinkhani) played a major role in paying tribute.  After the service, a cultually customary monetary gift was presented to Litinesi's husband. 

Mkakeni Jere, the HealthEd Connect Representative, reported, "...the village counsellors and the Husband to Litinesi send their greatest thanks ...to the whole Healthed Connect Organization and to Sinkhani as well. The husband expressed his feelings that he did every thing on credit to prepare the burial of his wife, and now the organization has saved him from credits, that he made and he also said that now he will have food for the Children, the little  food he had he fed people who came to the funeral and he gave a lot of thanks to you."

We send our love and fond remembrance to the family of a faithful Sinkhani who provided comfort to untold mothers and babies over decades of service..
