ANOTHER PICTURE THAT TELLS A STORY
You can help - It's Easy.
A little of your time will go a long way. 

Africa is different from the UK. We are normally fit and can resist most diseases. When illness does break through, there is the NHS

In Africa malnutrition and poor hygiene means small illnesses often become major  - and when they do there is little medical cover. 

So this lad. He was wandering around outside a health centre. His eye swelling was so gross, I was not sure what it was - then the penny dropped -  Conjunctivitis - with a lot of rubbing with grubby hands. In the UK a whiff of drops. In Africa rubbing and infection can lead to Trachoma then blindness. It is so unfair!! 

Our project is working in Uganda so more lads can get advice and drops and not go blind.
