I learned yesterday that a student with whom I've worked closely over the last few months contracted cerebral malaria the other week and is now hospitalized. His condition is improving, but apparently it's still very serious. I'm not a person of faith, and yet at moments like this I find it impossible not to ask for help from a higher power...so I am. I realize the contradiction inherent in this stance. I'm also not entirely clear on why I'm sharing this here, and yet it somehow feels useful to do so--perhaps because there's absolutely nothing else I can do. Any help in this effort would be greatly appreciated. Get well, R--you are in my thoughts and prayers.
