In a remote village in East Africa, a woman gave birth to a baby girl. And everyone was so happy and glad she has a child after years of childlessness. It is a tradition of the East African people that once a child is born, he or she will be taken to the oracle of the land, to know if the coming of the child was for good or for evil.
The parents of the child named her Amarachi, meaning the Grace of God. After her naming ceremony, Amarachi was presented at the shrine for cleansing. And there the worst happened. The parents were in tears, friends and wellwishers were sober . Amarachi has a weak heart and will be dead in three days time. The mother who suffered many years without a child, could not hold her tears but to shed tears and kept rolling on the floor, asking the gods while her. Why should this happen to her. The oracle instructed that the child should be kept in a basket and be thrown into the river.
