MISSED OPPORTUNITY
Kericho, Kenya
Dr. Kipkemei had an emergency. He had to return to Nairobi immediately.
We never got to meet.
THE ANSWER MAN
Kericho, Kenya
I must be living right. Dr. Kipkemei -- a world expert on malaria ... who was going to come to Kericho for a short visit – agreed to meet with me tomorrow, but only for ten minutes. I know he is extraordinarily busy with his lectures and clinic and meeting the press and whatnot, so I am grateful to have even a short time with him.
I have a million questions to ask, and I know he has a million answers.
But they all boil down to one thing: how can we stop this horrifying disease from spreading?
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. Everyone always talks about climate change and what's happening to our planet.
But what I want to see is some solid scientific proof. And I think I've found it.
