Health Report

It took nine full months of living in Africa, but malaria has finally struck one of the volunteers.  The honor of having the first case in our community goes to Gary.  He wasn't feeling very well, and while he doubted it was malaria he decided to get tested anyways.  Fortunately for him, it seems to be a very mild case of malaria.  He is only suffering from some stomach discomfort and aches and pains, but then again he is missing out on the malaria halucinations.  Early today he said he was even dissappointed that his first experience didn't even come close to meeting expectations.  Of course, he might regret saying that if he gets it again and it does live up to the hype.  In the meantime, we are trying to keep away from any mosquitoes that might have been around Gary and patiently waiting for the next case.
