She was only 35. Married in 2005, mother of four children,
active in her church.
She died on Saturday from meningitis.
It was my first funeral here in Zambia . I was the only mukuwa in
the crowd of a thousand mourning family and friends.
The meager gift of my presence felt meaningless to
offer the grief-stricken loved ones.
Pastor wants to know what's a mukuwa? Is that good or bad to be the only one in the crowd?

Delete"Mukuwa" is Tonga for "white person" (or, as I understand, any skin color other than dark brown).
