Sad but true

Another reflection from the Tanga, Tanzania trip... one evening we played a game of ultimate frisbee at a sports ground at the town's second best school. Many gather for that diversion every Friday evening. The teams had players from England, Scotland, India, Tanzania, the USA and Kenya. It was kind of strange to be playing there.

After the game, a German doctor who was in town for a three month-long project, complained how the deaths among new-borns at the local hospital was greater than that of babies born in nearby villages. He was justifiably irate.

What do you do about that? I have no idea.
