We were able to go back to the village where Zachariah lives. With the help from the Malawian government we could bring him some food supplements, it’s a food called “plumpy nut” which is like peanut butter, and has the protein and nutritional supplements he will need. We also were able to secure a wheelchair that was donated by the Rotary Club. The best news of all however, is that a chief from a neighboring village has agreed to be responsible to make sure he is fed and taken outside daily. On the bad news side, we found he has developed a bed sore, and for someone in his condition it could prove fatal. I washed and dressed the wound with the few first aid supplies I had, and we left with words of encouragement. I’m not sure how much future he’s going to have, but maybe he can have a few nice days in the sun.
