Samkile goes to Good Shepherd Hospital
This boy seems to have a broken spirit. He never laughs, just stares emotionlessly, or looks down. He does not want to take your hand if you offer it and doesn't respond to hugs. After discovering that he had many genital warts, we scheduled him for an operation to remove them at Good Shepherd Hospital last week. He was very unhappy about the pain afterwards and stood by his bed for hours crying. Friday, we took some ice cream and chocolate to him and all the kids in the pediatric ward. His "granny", whom he stays with earns about $8.00 a day as a cleaner at the hospital. She looks after 10 or 12 children in her home.

genital warts are sexually transmitted. nice of you to bring him ice cream but you might think about trying to find out who is abusing him.
