Stuart Spani from anamed Canada writes us:

From our experience in Mizoram and following research in Africa I
believe Bye, Bye Malaria Society is in position to help the Anglican
Church of Rwanda initiate a program which can realistically virtually
wipe malaria out on Rwanda, decrease HIV by 50%, Cancer by 25%, and
Asthma by 75%, within 5 years.  At the same time it would provide a good

And in parallel our anamed colleagues in Africa are facing such a drought that the usually blossoming fields cannot be sowed as it would be a direct waste. And what the drought does not destroy, is destroyed by government’s “development aid”: Laws like the previous EPA and the new TTIP flood Africa with imports, Asians buy out the best lands, our governments support corrupt political rulers, and UN operations always bring prostitution first.
