a teacher falls seriously ill
This morning we as we waited for the bus to Ho, there was a lot of commotion at the roadside. A taxi was flagged down by the villagers and Tony, along with the JSS headmaster spoke with the driver. One of the JSS teachers, Victor, has fallen seriously ill overnight. He, in his 30s, seemed the picture of health yesterday as he taught the students as usual. This morning when he woke he wasn't able to speak. I saw him lifted into the taxi, sitting between the headmaster and another man. As they drove by me on the way to the hospital, I saw the headmaster was holding Victor's head to keep him steady. His head just bounced, limp from his neck. "Sickly" cannot describe his state properly. His skin was gray, his mouth was open and his eyes closed. No one knows what happened, or what sickness he's come down with, but honestly it does not look good...
