Hey I just wanted to start a thread, to make more people aware of these diseases they're still a big problem, but a lot of people are still looking the other way instead of facing it.. As long as we don't fight these diseases poverty will always be an issue, it's like a viscious circle... Here's a link to one organization that fights these diseases, spread the word y'all gnntdc.sabin.org/Jenny

gnntdc.sabin.org/what/aboutntds.htmlhere's a link to what NTD's are exactly... 1 Billion people are infected and thousands of them will die, again without being able to fight off these Diseases we will not be able to eradicate poverty, people with these diseases can't help build up the country, when they're sick they can't provide for their children, infected children can't go to school.. This needs to be stopped...

Wow.. that´s just shocking. It´s also sad that the rest of the world sleeps at night, without them even hearing a thing about this.
