Prevent a tear ... save a life ... somewhere ! ( food, water, medicine )
This Mother was someone I saw often ~
in Waspam, Rio Coco, Nicaragua.
- her Young Child had Health Issues but she was taking her to the Clinic.
She has a Skin Disorder.... In this area (N.E. Nicaraguan border area ) (Now RAAN area)
- the Diet was meagre with a marked deficiency in protein and vitamins.
There was a high incidence of Kwashiorkor and other forms of Advanced Malnutrition especially in children under the age of 2 years.
The Main Diseases were respiratory infections, incl. tuberculosis..
.. also intestinal and skin parasites, diarrhoea, malaria and malnutrition..
In one village it was easy to hear the sound of whooping cough by the school house.....
(MSF’s first mission was to the Nicaraguan capital, Managua, where a 1972 earthquake had destroyed most of the city and killed between 10,000 and 30,000 people.The organization, today is known for its quick response in an emergency. )

The Nobel Peace Prize .. Medicins Sans Frontieres.
In 1999, MSF was awarded the International Nobel Peace Prize, "in recognition of the organisation's pioneering humanitarian work on several continents." The award honoured the work of MSF relief workers bringing medical assistance to people in more than 80 countries — over 20 of which are in conflict.
The proceeds from the Nobel Peace Prize have been used by MSF to establish a Neglected Disease Fund. The fund is designed to support pilot projects world-wide that facilitate clinical development, production, procurement and distribution of Neglected Disease treatments.
