Edmund arrived in Kasisi on February 17, 2018. On that day, there was a huge a storm in the area. Edmund’s mother tried to seek refuge from the storm in a hut but to no avail. She was struck by lightning and died on the spot. It is a mystery how Edmund survived the accident but upon finding the boy, residents of a neighboring village immediately brought him to Kasisi in an attempt to save his life. We didn’t know his name so one of the sisters decided to name him Edmund after Bl. Edmund Bojanowski, founder of the Servants’ Congregation and their homes, schools and orphanages.

We hope that Christopher’s death, which was an unexpected tragic event for the whole Kasisi, will kick off a chain reaction of good. Because of this, we started the Christopher Sakala Fund. With this fund, we support children being treated on the oncological ward at the hospital in Lusaka.
