Ruvarashe Takamhanya , 11 , was killed by a US diplomat in Zimbabwe in a road accident in June .
She was on her way to school in Dema , a town south-east of the capital, Harare , when she was run over.
Her parents say they realise diplomat has diplomatic immunity but an apology might help them recover from the pain and give them closure.
US State Department says it is co-operating with local officials.
Ruvarashe ’s parents want the driver of the car that killed their daughter to sit down with them and explain what happened.
"He should come back and say sorry," said Mr Takamhanya , his mother.
She said she looked on her daughter as a best friend, adding that her health was "deteriorating".
