Mahesh Srinivasan hasn't added a story.
For those of you still unaware, it has been a tough year for our family in coming to grips with cancer of my father, who is terminally ill with liver cancer. This was the context in which I visited my parents in Zimbabwe this October, a tumultuous month during which the economy of the country effectively collapsed, leaving the people of Zimbabwe without fuel, food, and medical services.
It was difficult having to watch a country crumble and
simultaneously care for an ailing parent, so I was surprised to find
Island Hospice, Africa's oldest hospice, continuing to operate, and
provide a safe haven (not to mention nursing, counselling and
bereavement services) for people in the last stage of their lives.
Home is somewhere I felt I could leave my parents behind and never
question that they would be there when I returned; Island Hospice made
the prospect of leaving my parents behind and returning to Switzerland
just that little bit easier.
This Movember I decided coax some hair through my upper lip
follicles, and raise money for Island Hospice. As the month now draws
to an end, I would like to kindly ask you to donate whatever you find
possible to Island Hospice, so they can continue their good work. As
grateful as I will be, i'm sure it would shy in comparison to the
gratitude of those in the sunset of their lives...
