Esinta Kalikokha

Esinta Kalikokha was born 28 September 2014. She has four siblings who are all much older as Esinta. The first born is 18 years old, the second born 16 years old, the third born 14 years old, and the fourth born 10 years old. Esinta is the fifth born and is currently 11 months old.
Beginning of August 2015 the mother of Esinta became sick. On the 26^th of August she got admitted at Nkhoma hospital. The mother of Esinta was HIV positive. Her condition got worse fast and on the third of September she died because of advanced HIV and tuberculosis. On the day the mother of Esinta (Gezina Kalikokha) died Esinta was also diagnosed with tuberculosis and admitted at Nkhoma hospital. The family left home for the funeral and Esinta stayed behind with me because there was nobody to care for her. Esinta’s grandmother died several years ago, there is an aunt however she is very old and will not manage to care for her.
Esinta is admitted in the hospital now for several days but still very sick. She has frequent fevers, diarrhea and vomiting. She has no appetite what makes feeding very difficult. Her HIV status is not known yet, we are waiting for the results which are expected to come back within the next two weeks.
The father is looking for someone to care for her, till he finds somebody Esinta will live in the Africare house.

The tuberculosis of Esinta was diagnosed in an early stage however she is very sick. She is weak and is sleeping most part of the day. Please keep Esinta in your prayers. 
Maria and Diana are very happy with their new sister. They help me with feeding, bathing and dressing. As soon as Esinta wakes up they come to tell me she is awake. If she is crying they grab my skirt and run to her bed. They are two proud big sisters!
