The Ebola virus continues to ravage the east of the Democratic Republic of Congo, but even a deadly disease has not deterred a student from completing his baccalaureate or his "bac" exams, which determine he may or may not go to university.
"My mother said:" My son, you have to study, if you have your degree, you will succeed in life, even if your parents are gone, you still have your life to live. " said Claude Mabowa Sasi, an Associated student. Press Press.
Mabowa lost her mother, brother and sister to the deadly haemorrhagic disease that killed 1,700 people in the past year in the DRC. Although vaccinated against Ebola, he quickly began to show symptoms causing him to lose appetite and a migraine, then he went to the Ebola treatment center in Beni, where he was diagnosed and put in quarantine.
The baccalaureate exams are held only once a year and Mabowa, 21, was in quarantine, unable to pbad the test with other people.
Alliance for International Medical Action (ALIMA), realized that Mabowa was determined not to miss the opportunity, and strove to find a solution.
ALIMA found a school official who was watching the exam, handing the papers to Mabowa behind a window without touching him. After completing the test, he put each paper in front of the window to be able to photograph it with a phone and send it by email to officials to get a rating.
All test instruments, including papers and pencil, were cremated after the examination.
"The fact that we pbaded her exams is an important step in her recovery and recovery," said Goretti Muhumira, a psychologist at ALIMA.
Other ALIMA staff members even brought Mabowa a school uniform to wear during his baccalaureate, in order to make the exam as ordinary as possible.
And the baccalaureate also has an oral component Mabowa remained behind the glbad while the supervisor answered the test questions.
"It was hard for me to hear them through the glbad, so they had to repeat themselves several times before I could understand the question," said the nerve student.
He has completed the last part of the exams Saturday and will wait for the isolated results until he is rid of the virus.
Mabowa wants to study political science at Kisangani University.
"I have not lost everything and I am confident of succeeding and honoring my mother's memory," he said. "If she was still here, I think she'd be proud of me," said Mabowa.
