Saturday is World Malaria Day. We, in the Mopti region, decided to hold a couple formations to teach Malians about Malaria prevention. We had them yesterday and today. Here are some photos from the events.
I have ameobas or some parasite right now so I am not feeling at 100%. My tasks were to make the posters and count people. Here is one of my posters. Ain't it purty :-)

Here is our table of samples. We showed them how to make anti-mosquito repelant and use and mosquito net.

Stacy is teaching them in Bambara:

Kelly hanging out with some Malians. Kelly is new to the region. She is one of the 5 volunteers that came to Mali from Madagascar after it was evacuated recently.

Us hard at work:

The group: Artie, Katie, Rabayah, the Malian lady who let us use her store as a location, Susan, me, and Stacy.
We talked to over 300 Malians over the two days. It was pretty successful. The Malians would teach each other sometimes, which was pretty neat.
