When Lydia's father John died, her grandmother Zalinya Makanwagi took in and brought up his four children. At six, Lydia was the eldest. Lydia now works with her grandmother preparing and selling food to patients, visitors and staff at a Taso clinic in downtown Kampala. A few yards away Aids victims too weak to queue for the limited medical support on offer lay and groaned on makeshift beds.
莉迪婭的父親約翰去世后,她的祖母扎留婭·馬坎瓦姬收養(yǎng)了他的四個孩子。那時最大的莉迪婭只有六歲。現在,莉迪婭和祖母一起工作,為坎帕拉市區(qū)艾滋病服務組織Taso門診部的病人、訪客和員工準備食物并出售。而就在幾碼之外的地方,艾滋病患者們因為太虛弱而無法排隊等候提供的有限的醫(yī)藥援助,躺在臨時搭成的病床上呻吟著。
