SARAB

Sarab, a seventeen year old girl, was a victim of Meningitis. She was known for her brightness, liveliness, thoughtfulness and creativity. While she was studying in England (1989), she developed symptoms similar to the Flu  (headaches and high fever) and  was admitted to hospital right away. Not much could be done since the Meningococcal Meningitis Bacterial type had already taken its toll. The diagnosis was late and in two hours time, Sarab passed away.

Her death brought great sorrow and heartaches to all her family, friends and relatives.

May Sarab's soul rest in peace.

 Sarab's Song

by Sana Masri

this lament was written by Jane Otaqui, Sarab's  guardian.. Jane was the first one to arrive at the hospital and the only one to see her before she died. Since then she decided to work with National Meningitis Trust.
