UNBELIEVABLE STATSKELVIN'S STORYWHAT IS OLR?
.
Wilson Mwanza, ten years old, dreams of playing football for the Zambian National Team. He
would like to play like his hero Kalusha Bwalya. But being HIV-positive, Wilson might never
live to see his dream fulfilled.

Looking at Wilson for the first time you might be excused for thinking that he was maybe six
or seven years old, but he is ten. Since he was three years old, he has gone from one ailment
to another, never really being fully healthy.

Wilson's two siblings are both death and so are both
his parents. Wilson lives his grandmother, aunt and her three children.

As Wilson's condition got worse, his aunt decided
to take him to the hospital so that they could do an
HIV test. "We needed to know so that we could
know how best we could take care of him," she
says.
