Chien-Chi Chang/Magnum on Malaria Kabale, Uganda: I always have a bit of dread before I enter a children's ward of a hospital. I've been to several through the years in a number of developing countries and today, being in the largest hospital of southern Uganda, serving 1.5 million people, was no different. Thirty metal and thinly mattressed beds, all occupied with children, none older than 5, filled the Kabale Regional Hospital and not surprisingly 30 to 40 percent of the cases were due to malaria. Last week, Annette Kyarikunda's daughter Asimwe had a high fever, was losing consciousness and falling down frequently. ]]> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2007/04/asimwes_recovery.html http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2007/04/asimwes_recovery.html <p>Dear Chien-Chi Chang and Kyu-Young Lee,<br /> My name is Keira and i am an art student at SUNY Ulster in NY. I was genuinelyinspired by your photos and story. I was wondering if it would be ok if i did a painting from the photo on the Malaria No More website (3 - UGANDA, Kabale. April 17, 2007.<br /> Annette Kyarikunda, a 25-year-old mother from Bushura, with her daughter Asimwe (left) in the children's ward of the Kabale Regional Hospital.) I would try to sell it and then would donate all of the money (except ost of the canvas) to the Malaria No More org.<br /> THank you, <br /> Keira<br /> </p> http://blog.magnumphotos.com/2007/04/asimwes_recovery.html#comment-5565
