BAMM, Under 5, Fish, and general vill life
Wow, its been a long time since I posted last! Sorry about that! Was in the vill and Kasama hasnt had wifi for a month or so, but now Im in Lusaka (enjoying some amazing food and teaching the new intake a thing or two) and Ive finally had time to update you on whats what here. This post is going to be a bit of mash of things. Hopefully, Ill be able to post again in April. So march is BAMM, or Blog About Malaria Month. Its certainly a problem here, people get malaria like its the flu, and its a huge issue for younger kids especially. My area dosent have a working clinic (yet) which means the profalaxis and coartem pills to prevent/treat malaria and few and far between. While everyone has a mosquito net, hardly anyone sleeps under it and its most commonly used for soccer goals, fish nets, or chicken hutches. A lot of the reason for the lack of use is due to misconceptions about the spread of malaria, and some of the prevention methods. Im hoping when I get my clinic
