Another Funeral

As is always the case with things here in Malawi, there is joy mixed with sorrow. Despite all the fun things that I have reported on my blog lately, there have been many funerals as well. Last week one of the truck drivers for MCV died of AIDS. Jairos was only 26 years old, and leaves behind a wife and children. I did not know him well and so I did not attend the funeral which was in his home village. I had spent a little time with him at MCV though. He was always pleasant to be around. I remember him playing with my I-Pod when we shared a car to Blantyre. He was definitely well liked, and everyone at MCV is very saddened by the loss
