One thing that surprised me: I was hearing the same problem over and over again. Lyme disease, meningitis, cholera, West Nile virus, hanta virus, avian flu ... so many countries were dealing with these diseases showing up in places they had never been seen before, and showing up in huge numbers. The Kenyan mission presented their story, too ... about malaria in their upland regions, just as Dr. Pascual had said in her research.

I was surprised so many of us faced the same situation, no matter where we lived.

ABOUT ME

My name's Lindy and I'm glad you stopped by. I'm a junior in college, visiting Kenya this mini-mester to try to get a handle on a question I've had for some time.
