4 DIE IN CITY FLOODS

This was the worst rain flooding in history. Houses were flooded to window level. 3 children died when the floods collapsed their hut and they drowned inside. One man died when the waters came into his home and he was electrocuted. The downpour effected Entebbe, Jinga, Mbale, Mityana, Masaka, and the Kampala-Entebbe Highway.

This is a malaria disaster zone. These children need our help. I will have you know, you thought I was a fire ball before...just wait until I get back. There is so much more we can do, and it has to be done. We are the MALARIA PREVENTION GROUP...and that is what we have to do, prevent these deaths from happening. A simple bed net will save their lives. Spread the word, say it loud, say it clear. If you tell one person who does not know what a preventable disease this is, they can save a life.

Watch out...I am coming home with new footage, and new photographs that will make you proud to be a part of this team, and make you want to do more....

Love to you all,
Your little fire ball from Kingston

Uh oh - sounds like it'll be trouble when Nancy Stevens resurfaces in Kingston! Thanks for keeping all of us in the loop - and stay away from the danger zone, as best you can. We are all looking forward to your photo's, your footage - and most of all, your stories. Take care.
