22- WITCH DOCTORS AND WHICH MEDICINES
Submitted by Dr. Robert F. Lane on
In 2009, my son Trevor and I were working in a destitute refugee squatter’s village in Zambia near the border to the embattled Congo. Our goal was to figure out how to improve the health education of children in a mission school in hopes of both affecting their generation, but also of creating an inroad through the kids’ literacy to their illiterate parents. We had a chance to talk with a pastor and a healthcare worker about the response of these people to the threat of death often from AIDS, TB or malaria.
