I hesitate to decide what to call this post It should be 'Death stalks people constantly'.  Last year, the Head Teacher of one of my schools, a committed woman who eagerly cooperated with any project that would enhance her small, rural school, died suddenly. She was asthmatic, her inhaler was empty and she lived in a rural area with no transport at night. The Deputy Head took her place and just before Christmas he died too. He was HIV positive. As children return to schools after the strike, a matatu (small bus) blew a tire and rolled, killing three secondary students among a number of others. On Wednesday morning this week we heard that the young principal of a school where we have initiated many projects died after a short illness. We still don't know what killed him. And these are only the ones reported or who touched us personally.
