Impact… Alphonsine, HIV positive from Izere Association (PLWHA)
Impact… Participant in Good Samaritan workshop in Cameroon The day I received my results, I forgot that I came to the hospital with my own car and went to the road to look for a taxi. Then suddenly, I realised that I had forgotten my car at the hospital. When I came back home I locked myself up for two days in my room and did not go out. The day I came out of the bedroom, I went to the village to dig my tomb, because I believed everything was over for me. But gratefully and happily I was not forgotten by God. I live with the virus for four years now. Today only Christ is my comforter. My wife is dead and alone I take care of our eight children .
