Congo Student With Ebola Still Finds a Way to Take Exams

Associated Press

   BENI, DRC - Claude Mabowa Sasi had lost his mother, a brother and a
   sister to Ebola. Instead of fearing death when he, too, was diagnosed
   with the disease, the young man had a different worry: How would he
   complete his college entrance exams?

   It had been his mother's greatest hope that Mabowa would go to college.
   To do so would require passing the secondary school baccalaureate, or
   "bac."

   But the exams are held only once a year in Congo, and the 21-year-old
   Mabowa was being held in medical isolation, unable to sit in the same
   room with other test-takers.

   So the medical staff members caring for him at an Ebola treatment
   center run by the Alliance for International Medical Action, or ALIMA,
   came up with a solution.
