Area: Chandmari Juggi, Vijaynagar District: Ghaziabad, State: Uttar Pradesh Country: India, 22nd March 2017 .
Naazma Begum mobilizes mothers and children from their homes to attend a routine immunization session at the local anganwadi in the Chandmari Juggi. 27-year-old Naazma Begum along with her husband Mohhammed Avrakh reside in a 100 sq.feet plot of land covered by blue and yellow plastic supported by bamboo sticks. In order to survive Naazma picks rags from garbage dumps and construction sites, sometimes travelling around 8 to 10 kilometers a day. Typically her day starts at 4:00 am, and sometimes can extend till late evenings. After picking useful items out of garbage she comes back to her slum colony and sorts out the various pieces of junk collected. Plastic, metals, glass and other items are separated and sold. Children, young and old participate in this activity. The sorted items would then be sold to a “Kabadi Wala” ( Wholesale Junk Shop).
On certain days Naazma does not go for her morning rounds of rag picking. This does affects her household economically. Her husband a magician doing shows for a living does not have a steady stream of income. In spite of the circumstances Naazma on these mornings goes house to house motivating young mothers from her community to take their children for routine immunization sessions organized in her locality by the National Health Mission.
An inspiration to many, Naazma sometimes has tough time convincing her friends to take their children. Excuses ranging from, “We don’t have time’, “the child will get fever “ are common in her community. Naazma patiently explains the dangers caused due to lack of vaccination and its necessity in today’s life to every household. Her effort along with the support of Community Mobilization Coordinator and Block Mobilization Coordinator has led to a massive increase in the children immunized in Vijaynagar Ghaziabad.

I have a million things to get done before I leave, appointments to go to, immunizations to get, money to exchange, a visa to get, and so on. Busy, busy, busy. Then I found something out that I wasn’t expecting to have to deal with, at least not right now.
I found out that my father, who I haven’t seen or spoken to in over 9 years, had to have a triple bypass heart surgery and some toes amputated. It was a shock I wasn’t expecting. And I know that he has wanted to get back in touch with me for well over a year. I’m so unsure about it all. I haven’t heard from him in so long. He was never really around. He and my Mom separated when I was 11. And he was sporadically involved in my little brother and my lives after that. The last time I saw him was at my little brother’s funeral. He doesn’t really know me, he wasn’t a big part of my life really, and he was never there when I could have needed him.
So now I really have to think about this. I have heard that he has cleaned up, and was actually doing well. Which is great. Good for him. But do I want to see him? Do I want to try again? Is he really going to try or do I have to go through that disappointment again? Could I handle going being let down again? Do I need closure or do I want to actually try to have some sort of relationship with him? I really don’t know…I don’t know at all…

In Jan 2011 the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunizations (GAVI) and its partners are rolling out a new vaccine to prevent pneumonia in Kenya. In the developing world, pneumonia kills in the neighborhood of 1.4 million kids every year. Pneumococcal, the deadliest strain of that illness (and a major cause of what we might call “regular” pneumonia), kills 800,000.
Kenya's pneumococcal vaccine's official launch date is Feb 14, but we were able to photograph a clinic near the Kibera slum in Nairobi that already started providing the vaccine this week.
This health center is the Langata (sometimes called Kibera) District’s regional distribution center for the 36 clinics within the district. They collect all of the vaccines from the Regional Disbursement Center and, since they must maintain the cold chain to ensure the efficacy and safety of the vaccine, haul them back to Langata in well-used, white Styrofoam coolers. There, they are stored in an upright, avocado green refrigerator. But, it works and that’s what counts. They are then divided up and dispersed to the 27 clinics in the District that have trained personnel to give the vaccines.

Two-month check-up = immunizations galore. He's handled it pretty well (he seems to be a tough little guy), but every time I see the band-aids I wince.
And in case viewers grew up in the Pampers era: It's a cloth diaper. You put a waterproof cover over it. When it's soiled, you wash it and re-use it, not throw it away. It's a pretty far-out technology. (And yes, we put him in paper diapers when he's going down at night or when we're going out in public.)
And in case the last time you changed a diaper was in the pre-Pampers era: It's called Velcro, hence no need for safety pins. In this case, it truly is God's miracle fabric.
