As part of my malaria work I've been going from school to school teaching the malaria basics: how malaria is spread, what the signs/symptoms are, and how it can be prevented. With grades 1-5 I've followed up the lessons with an "art contest" where the children draw one of the ways of preventing malaria that they learned about. I've had some pretty hilarious drawings come out of it (i.e. eating sweeties while in a mosquito net is apparently a very good way of preventing malaria) and soon I'll be posting the pictures in the clinic in celebration of Malaria Day at the end of April.
