      I choose this image because it captured what I think of when I think of Uganda and other countries in Africa. Dance seems to be a central part of cultural life. Vibrant, spiritual, expressive, and community are ideas that I relate to dance and the culture of Uganda, that are also portrayed in this image. Celebration, Ritual, Joy, Tribal, Exuberant

Uganda and Malaria - 0 views

  •  
    I've never really heard much about Uganda growing up, only knowing that it was somewhere on the continent of Africa. I didn't know anything about the culture or anything that goes on down there - the image that I always have in my head when I think of anywhere in Africa is of lions and zebras running around, which is very sad I know and obviously not true (I'll blame it on watching too much Animal Planet). One of my best friends from high school is actually abroad in South Africa, and the first thing I thought of is "Oh my gosh you have to get all those shots!". Obviously, I know that our immune systems aren't capable of fighting many diseases down there because we are simply not used to them, and the thought of getting a million shots to go always turned me off from the idea of one day traveling there (I'm VERY squeamish). One shot that is vital to get when you are traveling to a country like Uganda is the shot to help prevent Malaria. Although it's very possible to get it in America, Malaria and the mention of Africa in general go hand-in-hand. I'll admit that I don't know much about the specifics of the disease, only that it is carried by mosquitos and can cause death. It's great to see that the president of Uganda, President Museveni, is trying to find a way to prevent mosquito larvae from becoming mature and then further spreading the disease. If achieved, this will help stop the many deaths caused each year by Malaria.
