Thin Line

There is a fine line between life and death, security and safety, happiness and sorrow, confidence and fear... I guess it applies to all humans all worldwide, but in particular here, in a rural Tanzania. Today we have seen this thin line for ourselves...


One of our health center staff, a volunteer from Poland, stabbed herself accidentally in her finger with a needle removed just a second before from a vain of patient tested positive for both strains of HIV/AIDS. Imagine the terror in her heart and mind!

She did whatever possible to drain the blood from the pierced finger and so forth. Then rushed for medicine she would use for a month and then will get tested for HIV...

We do walk on a thin line here... between life and death, security and safety, happiness and sorrow, confidence and fear, health and malady...


Pray for her safety that she may get out of this terrible accident safe and sound. I believe so and pray for it myself!
