"...the death of every man diminishes me.. so never send to ask for whom the bell tolls, it tolls for thee...".
The news was shocking, horrific, incredible and extremely shattering: Foday Dumbuya is dead. The ugly incident took place in the early hours of the day.
The late man was a complete servant in the hands of God and humanity. Born into an unassuming, lowly and purpose centred family, late Foday Dumbuya grew up that way and formed his life and character along those values and virtues.
He proved his consistency of character in his exclusive service to humanity through Caritas Makeni, a Catholic development charity. This was where I worked and interracted with the late man. He was result oriented and goal driven spiced with an unrivalled sense of humility. He was never angry, tired and in disagreement with any.
The last five years were of critical challenge to him. He faced serious challenges in his matrimonial life, job situation and his health situation.
His shattering moment was sadly his seperation with the entity he served almost all his life, Caritas Makeni. Caritas Makeni took a seemingly unchristian action by whisking him out of the job without severance benefits and due consideration to his individuality and family life. Perhaps, more than anything, that was the blow he never recovered from.
Brother Foday, you served God and humanity well. May your soul rest in peace.
