Timothy

After talking to Timothy’s parents and with their encouragement I have decided to post Timothy’s picture. This is the first picture that I have posted and I do so to share with you all the death of a boy who should never have died. Pharmaceutical companies need to start research into Dengue Fever (Hemorrhagic fever), I first heard of it as a small boy while watching M*A*S*H in an episode where Hawkeye discovers a way to treat an untreatable disease, sadly that was fiction and this is fact. Until now this disease claims so many lives yet I only know about rumours of herbal treatments. We need to get research started and stop others from dying needlessly. As Bono said “Where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die”.

Timothy’s family are very poor and have not yet used the internet, Timothy had the opportunity to study and use the internet thanks to KLM who donated the computers and because of one of the kindest people I have ever met Janneke. Janneke runs Stichting Kalinga, here is a link to the Kalinga website: Kalinga

Here is the KLM Wings of Support website: Wings of Support

Timothy we miss you and your wonderful smile.
