We all learned lots as Stella, the nurse, covered 30 questions with our team and the Namwianga Basic School Team.
In Zambia, malaria kills. All our babies (and us) sleep under treated nets. We know now for sure the major signs: headache and fever and many other facts. Since our team won they went on to compete a few days later and came in 5th. Each team was awarded cash prize - something they can spend on contributing towards malaria control for the farm and a gift for themselves. The contest was sponsored by CHAZ - Church Health Association of Zambia - an organization partly funded by some of the big world funders. Ask me more sometime about the accounting involved.
