Mosquitoes Suck!

Location Gunjur, Gambia

Linked to: Peace Corps: The Gambia

We all know that mosquitoes suck. But unless you've been in sub-Saharan Africa where malaria kills people every single day, you can't really appreciate the severity of that annoying little buzz in your ear and that irritating itch just below your ankle. As a US Peace Corps Volunteer serving in The Gambia West Africa I have seen people suffering and dying from malaria and I would like to help combat the disease. Please help me help Gambians protect themselves from mosquitoes and malaria.
