Jamesâs most recent letter says thanks for the photos of Napirai. Mama and Lketinga were very upset when they saw them; they miss us both so much still. He encloses a picture of Lketingaâs new wife. I immediately recognise her as someone who as a little girl used to come into the shop often to buy sugar or maize flour. She was very quiet and relatively inconspicuous. Iâm pleased for the two of them and particularly to hear from James that Lketinga has given up alcohol completely. He says heâll send me a picture of their new baby later. Itâs a little girl, ten months old already. But his long letter contains bad news too. Lketingaâs older brotherâs wife, Mama Saguna, has had a lot of health problems and has been in hospital now for three months. She canât come home until theyâve paid the hospital bill and on top of that they owe money to the Somalis for a makeshift ambulance service to take her from Barsaloi to Wamba. I can imagine it really must have been a matter of life and death, because a patient has to be more dead than alive before they even think of a hospital. I know from my own experience that first of all theyâll try every type of traditional medicine. James says my mother-in-law has now got his brotherâs five children and their newborn living with her and none of them have enough to eat. James asks me once again to send some money to help them, which upsets me a lot, primarily because now that Iâm unemployed I havenât even enough money to get by myself. Instead I ask my older brother and Hanspeter if they can spare some which both readily agree to.
