Yes! No More Mosquito Bites

Adama stays with her aunty in Wellington in a single bedroom apartment with no running water, no electricity and a poor toilet facility. Adama’s father survives by breaking large granite stones retrieved from the hillside into smaller sizes, which are sold to people building their houses. The smaller stones are used for laying concrete foundations, concrete floors etc. His monthly income of US $30 is not enough to take care of his daughters. He therefore decided to ask his sister, Adama’s aunt, to take care of Adama.

Adama is a smart and promising girl who has known poverty all her life. Her aunt has 3 children and two dependent relatives.  Her monthly income of US $100 is not enough to cover this family’s expenses for the month.  Because Adama is active in the Church children’s fellowship, some church members periodically offer her assistance. Adama is a very good dancer and likes reading at her leisure. Adama also likes reading and mathematics at school and she is contemplating being a nurse or a banker when she grows up.

She was exceptionally happy to receive a mosquito net as she had been sleeping exposed to mosquitoes and their bites.  Adama hates getting bitten by mosquitoes.

Thanks Laurie for providing this net that will keep her safe and secure from mosquitoes and malaria.  When she received the net, she happily yelled out “Yes! No more mosquito bites.”
