So, I think you can see that with the jerry can collecting the water from the lake, that water contains parasites and, therefore, if someone sits in the basin that child gets exposed. This disease is slowly killing the inhabitants of this village and millions of others across Africa. Although these kids may look happy and healthy, it doesn' t take long to realise all is not quite as it seems. One of the symptoms of the disease is a swollen abdomen, which is easily confused with malnutrition or malaria. But here' s someone show me. I' ll show you mine. That' s a little bit swollen. So can we feel that? OK, so this is swollen. Yeah. How old are you? Nine. Nine. OK, so that' s really interesting. I mean he' s small. These aren' t swollen tummies of malnutrition. They' re getting too old for it to be malaria and his belly' s still swollen, so again that' s definitely schistosomiasis. Everyone here seems really cheery and healthy and happy but, um, in fact there' s a lot of problems, and this, moses is gonna have a lot of problems later on with his tummy. |
