Screening

 Sam and Gedna
When our doctors identified five cases of malaria for our children, our friends from North Carolina were quick to respond.  They went out and bought as much screening as possible in town, measured the windows in the kids' homes and started cutting 'em up.  Screens were installed a while back but most needed repairs or replacement.  What a great bunch of people!

Malaria

When I went to the airport on the 26th, I felt unusually weak. Had the "frissons" which means I felt cold. Having had malaria three times already, I was pretty sure that's what I had. Yup, malaria for the fourth time. Have taken the required meds and I'm starting to feel better but that first night was a real drag. Say a prayer for us old and feeble types.
