Family Appeals for Help to Bring Home Ailing Teacher.



The family of Ayanda Cija, a 22-year-old teacher who fell ill while working in South Korea, is appealing for assistance to bring him back home. Ayanda had been teaching in the country for four months and had plans to settle there permanently with his sister.


However, his dreams were shattered when he fell severely ill with a mental health condition. Despite receiving treatment at Sam Jeong Hospital, doctors have been unable to determine the cause of his condition, and his situation has not improved.


With his medical insurance no longer covering him, the family is facing significant costs to repatriate Ayanda. In a desperate bid to bring their son home, the family is turning to the government for help.


"We are struggling to cover the costs of bringing Ayanda back home," said his family. "We kindly appeal to the government to assist us in bringing our son back to his loved ones."


The family hopes that with the government's help, they can bring Ayanda home and provide him with the care and support he needs to recover.
