My Learning and Understanding

One of the main reasons why I chose this topic is because Malaria has always been known as one of the top diseases in Africa, but not that many people takes the time to answer the questions of why? And What's the impact that has on the people living there? This investigation helped me to obtain more understanding about the issue and the different situations that the population in Africa deals with. We tend to take this type of issues for granted because of the simple fact that it isn't happening to us, making ourselves blind, walking the other way, pretending that everything is under control, when in reality the problem still exist and we are just not giving it the attention it needs so it can be stop. It is interesting how Malaria not only affects the population, but it also has a huge impact on the economy and it is one of the causes for the cycle of poverty in Africa to still continue ; I never thought of that and it is definitely a good piece of information to take in. Everything is connected in one way or another and even though different organizations are trying to help it doesn't mean that we can't get involved in the movement. We can do as little as spreading awareness and spreading our knowledge. Thinking that the only reason why we don't have to deal with situations like that its because we are lucky to have such a great environment to live in. Everyone has the right to a safe environment and I admire everyone who is trying to make a change in the world by trying to achieve that for the people in Africa. I know it's hard and it has taken many years just to make it all the way they had by involving more and more people everyday, but organization hasn't given up and they are always looking for new medicine, new ways to educate the population about what's happening and the preventions they should be taking at home about Malaria. All of that requires dedication and motivation to know that everything takes time in this life and every cause needs to be fought for until the end.
