Aug 23, 2011 (The Namibian/All Africa Global Media via COMTEX) -- IN A homestead at the village of Otaukondjele near Eenhana lives Rachel Mani (82) and her five grandchildren, all of whom are orphans that she is taking care of.
Mani herself had fourteen children of which seven have died at the homestead all of HIV/Aids and two of her grandchildren are also positive and living on ARV medication.
Loide and Lonia Wilho are fifteen-year-old twins who are as different as day and night. Loide is negative and a strong teenager, whereas Loina is a frail, underdeveloped - sick HIV positive girl. The twins were about three years old when their mother died and Mani started to care for them. For the past ten years Mani has been taking care of all five grand children. They all attend school and she pays the school fees and uniforms from their OVC grant and her pension.
One of the grandchildren, who is also positive was still breastfeeding when his mother died. He had a constant rash and was very sickly as a baby, so Mani took all her grand children to the clinic and had them tested when she discovered that two were positive and Loina also had TB.
