Kamba Antefindrazana's story, the Majunga 1 year-old baby born with a malformation. It was Diana Chamia a future journalist in Madagascar member of FOKO-Majunga who wrote about this story first back in April when she launched this call for help :"Help me help them" when she promised the family to do whatever it takes to help them and baby Kamba. http://malagasymiray.net/2008/05/02/help-diana-help-them-bloggers-committe-on-the-way/ http://www.zaza-vavy.org/

Diana Chamia student at Journalism School of Majunga
FBC Foko Blog Club Reporter
I am about to ask Philomene on her feelings towards us helping Kamba
We are in Tananarive on June 18th at 12.30 am
I am very happy about the way I met Diana at the City hall
This day I came from the nuns who refused to operate my baby
Diana took the risk to take us here in Antananarivo
And I want to thank everyone who helped us and took care of everything
As we can see here Philomene is
thanking everyone abroad who sent the money for the hospitalization
and Foko team who want to apologize about the lateness of the updates
Diana please tell us more about philomene
Philomene is Kamba's mother and the baby has a macrocephale on his fronthead
and we are taking care of everything with all the associations around
Philomene is not married and has 4 children, she also has a twin sister names Georgette
She is here with us taking care of Kamba's twin sister
Philomène gave birth in Majunga
and couldn't get the doctors to help her
they weren't able to give her medicines either
and she even went to the nuns but got nothing from them
So Diana , tell us about the first time you met this family
and how you managed to take care of everything
it was destiny because I wasn t supposed to miss my bus stop
i was day dreaming
and i didnt realize i had to get off the bus
i felt angry at myself because i had to walk
but then i was looking at this woman who was carrying two children at the same time
and i approached them but she wasn t really happy about it
"leave us alone, she said, dont stare at my baby this way"
she was used to see people pointing her child
she felt very sad about it and wanted to protect him
it was then when i told her i wanted to help them , not me alone of course because i was only a student
i don't have the money to help them !
because i was a member of the Foko Blog Club and had my blog
like all the students at the school of journalism
i took all my connection hours to start this project and look for help
As you can see , kamba s story is something special
thanks to diana stuborness and determination even with philomene refusing her help
because they met on the street
philomene didnt want to get help from people she didnt know, but diana insisted
so this is the story of kamba
