How your gift has helped Laughter Africa children in the past year:
One of the boys who best encapsulated the healing power of music was Mohamed Tarawallie aka Rasta. We first met him on 15th June 2015 and he was the first child that Laughter ever worked with. He was always belting out a tune and loved to learn different instruments.
Sadly, on 22nd June 2024, Rasta died. His life was cut short following a lifelong battle with sickle cell disease.
Rasta was such a chilled-out and relaxed person, and his passing was a big loss to the Laughter Family. As well as being a talented musician, he was also a talented tailor and was always making clothes for his friends and family.
The last time we saw him was at our birthday celebration a few weeks before he died. It was like he had come to say goodbye. We told him that we were proud of him and how loved he was.
We attended his burial and commiserated with his family members. Bakarr one of the social workers carried his coffin.
