  • The older brother of this boy died from rabies after being bitten by a rabid dog. That same rabid dog also bit this young boy. Now, 2 months after his bite, we learn about this exposure. The family couldn't afford to travel to Freetown to buy human rabies vaccine to give to the boy to help prevent rabies. They couldn't afford the vaccine either, which is sold at different prices in different pharmacies. We donated money to cover the costs for the family and treating the boy. Unfortunately, there are too many like him who never get the vaccine post-exposure prophylaxis. Africa and Asia remain hot spots for canine rabies. Something has to be done.

  • Some key elements to preventing rabies in people are: vaccinating dogs regularly, reducing stray dog populations, and educating people on what to do if they are bitten by a dog. Here, one of many children learning about dog bites and rabies as part of World Rabies Day celebrations pauses during a long speech to give me a look. Overall, the event was a long one, trying the children's attention.

Rabies occurs in more 150 countries and claims the lives of over 55,000 people each year. Approximately 40% of these deaths are in children under the age of 15 years. The animal that is most responsible for these deaths is the dog. While the dog strain of rabies has been eliminated in the United States, it circulates widely in Asia, India, Africa and Latin America.

  • Another sick boy in the clinic in Jimmi, Sierra Leone. The ability to diagnose an illness is challenging. The clinic has the ability to test for malaria and run urine dipsticks to look for protein and sugar. The needs outstrips what the clinic can offer. The clinic had antibiotics for children, but none for adults. Supplemental nutritional packets for children were running low.

  • As I stood watching the young men playing football on the beach, these boys were taking a break from playing. They sat talking and watching the older boys, and I started talking with them, showing them the pictures on the back of my camera that I was taking. They were quite happy to have their pictures taken.

  • The health clinic in the village of Jimmi does what it can, with few supplies or equipment. Supplies are delivered by the Ministry of Health every 3 months, and requests for more go unfulfilled. Malaria, diarrhea, malnutrition are big problems. Here, a child is hospitalized for a fever. His father sits at his side.

  • This woman took time to talk with me about her family, pictured here, and going hungry. They eat once a day, usually just rice. She's worried about her youngest, who suffers from malnutrition. The vaccine record of the child sits on the table. Even though she's part of a farming family, they don't have enough to eat. Ways to improve farming, increase yields, and lower the work load, especially for women, need to be found.

Bright uniforms gave the children a colorful, excitable look. This young man quickly came over and tried to claim they were more than just friends. She set him straight.
