gave 10 for a mosquito net |
posted July 1, 2010
Sally Lewis, a young girl from Sierra Leone, lives with her mother, father, brothers, and sisters in a single bedroom apartment zinc sheet home with no running water and no electricity. Sally’s father is a polygamist and has another family; he sleeps alternate weeks with Sally’s mother and siblings.
Sally’s mother is a petty trader and the main provider of the home with a monthly income of US $40 – an amount that is not enough to cover the family needs. Sally wakes up very early to fetch water for her household before going to school. Sally wants to be a lawyer when she grows up.
Needless to say, the family was delighted to receive this bed net as they desperately needed one. Their neighborhood is infested with noisy mosquitoes that seem to find a way to get underneath the bed sheet that she covers herself with at night.
Thanks Tchiyiwe for helping Sally get relief from mosquitoes and malaria!
