Isaack

This is Isaack. He is nine years old and was carried to the hospital yesterday by his mother.

They live in Soleil.

He cannot stand any longer because he is too weak.

Isaack has been sick with cholera like symptoms for a few days.

Mother proudly reported that Isaack plays drums and the tamborine in his church choir.

As Isaack slowly sipped oral rehydration solution from the cap of the bottle, mother reported that the "solution" for her son rests in the hands of God. (Not surprisingly she did NOT mention Isaack's fate in the hands of the politicians to be elected tomorrow.)
