I’m in a mud hut holding my sponsored child, fever, sweating, delirium. If there’s no sponsor, there’s no medication, maybe no life. “Compassion.” Why not?

So much said in so few words.(Cliche!! ;)) Having seen the effects of Malaria (and felt the effects of Lariam)I think you have summed up the plight of Africa. Nice work.

This tale is about a friend, recently returned.

Commiserations on the Lariam Keith, it should be totally band.

Thanks for your comments, Carolyn
