Hi sorry to let you all know Villas is no more pls pray.

Villas was a young orphan with HIV who was being cared for and blessed through the work of OASIS India.

At one point - before they started accessing free AntiRetroviral Treatment through the government hospitals - OASIS would bring a whole vehicle full of kids with HIV to us each month for their treatment follow-ups.

Villas was one of them. I have him in my mind's eye now. His thin face, the beautiful shy smile.

That's how I choose to remember him - and that's who I will meet when we next see each other in glory.

In the mean time, our eyes are full of tears...

Another little boy dead to HIV.

Kudos to our friends at OASIS for the love and care they poured into this young life. Their work is a deep blessing to many. How hard it is to love and to lose...
