Sickle cell home, second home for children



Following the experience with World pulse, I have learned to talk to myself. Each time when I am writing a journal, its the person inside me Gloria, who is working and I feel much involved cause its all about me having an impact in the society.
In one of my journals, I wrote about sickle cell anemia, curiously no body has put a comment. Let me tell you, this disease has broken my life in pieces, I wonder if they can be put back together.



My vision is to open a home where kids with sickle cell anemia with appropriate health care, this home will help children living with this silent killer, they are forgotten by the Internationale communities, don't even say the society. Some say that, they were cursed by nature, other say that its their mom(aunt, grand mothers) who wished them, other say that it the devil of poverty which come in, and so on. But I know ,the person who suffers more is the patient suffering with daily pains, discrimination, .....



Families are been broken, husband who abandon their wife because, she is giving birth to sick kids, in laws families will refuse those poor women in because they are cursed. let me tell you its the worst experience in the all world. Concerning my issues, in the process of courtship many people came in and my boyfriend that, \"she is is cursed, all first born boy are sick in their families\" do you now why? because i have two brothers with sickle cell anemia. if you have never of this, its a disease
Knowing that Samy and Gaby are not the only children suffering in the world, that means that they need help. We find plenty of programs in the UN organization but why can't we find one for this kind of disease?Cancer,Malaria, Polio, etc have their programs `please let create one and help children.
Know you are many out there knowing children suffering with silent killer, let use our force and influence the Internationale on finding a answer to this issue.



Know with world pulse help we can advocate, the head of UNICEF in the world can read this article and many other and after a short while I know the answer is in the corner. Some times my brothers get sick and we rush them to the hospital, guess what? nurses will tell us that they are tired of us, imagine that scenario........you look at the patient and realise that you are not in position to help and instead of finding help to the hospital they tell you, that they are tired of
you.



With world pulse ,I am going to change my community!thing known as tabou, secret will be the subject of our journal and step by step a change will be seen. I thank the initiator of this frame work, its a cure to more wounds and not just in your community but in the all world.



Thank you for reading me



Yours Gloria Bitomwa
