Salaam Alaikum:

I am writing to you on behalf of Hatibu, a 2 year old boy from a ver

small village. I met him last night and saw his very sad and heart

breaking condition.


2/6

Please see attached pictures.He has a big boil o

pimple the size of a golf ball, which seems to

emerge from the right side of his small head. It

started a month ago and this growth is getting

bigger by the day. When I looked at it closely, it

looked infected. It almost seems like there is acrack in his head and the pimple is growing out

of it. The doctors in Zanzibar are not able to

diagnose the condition. The boy is in constant

pain but has no energy to cry anymore, so he sit

looking very sad. His mother Fatma does not

have the $1 bus fare to town, (one hour away),so I sent them in a taxi.Few situations have

moved me to this extent, and I am not asking fo

additional funds, only if I can use some of your

already donated funds for this child.We would

probably then send him to Agakhan hospital in

Dar-es-salaam for a CT scan, before they decidewhat if anything can be done for Hatibu. I am no

sure if he can be treated in Tanzania or maybe

flown to India but that is a decision we can mak

later. For now, we need to get him to Dar for

tests.

Thank you for your continued support.

When you find yourself in a position to help

someone, be happy because God is answering

that persons prayer through you.
