Prayer to fight rabies

The people of Sierra Leone fight back against rabies by educating communities through World Rabies Day celebrations and events in 2010. From song and dance to skits to vaccination clinics to school competitions, word got out. Still, not enough has been done to rid the country of this killer for good. At Njala University in Sierra Leone, the events for World Rabies Day, 2010, kick off with a prayer to an auditorium filled with school kids and adults from surrounding villages. The day is filled with speeches, songs, dance, music and skits -- all about rabies. With no firm way to diagnose rabies in humans or animals, the exact toll of the disease remains unknown. But people do die.
