Below is an email from Dr. Barb Connor, you can read more from the medical team here.

Mosquito nets were distributed in Patenoi yesterday. The medical students hiked 45 minutes, with Sudanese villagers carrying 350 mosquito nets (23 kg for each bag of 50 nets)(multiply by 2.2 to convert kg to pounds).

Yesterday's temp was 118 in the shade as they hiked in the sun! They also did the deworming and Vitamin A in Patenoi at the school and in the community center. We will try to send pics later, power permitting. (Dr. Reed sent some photos at 9:04 a.m. and 9;24 a.m.)

Today they distributing nets in Duk Payuel, John's village. We are also able to send the child home today, who was so critically ill the other day with cerebral malaria. She is awake, without fever and able to finish her malaria medicine orally. We have also given that family a mosquito net!

They are from Pok Tap, a 2 hour walk away. They will stay with friends in Duk Payuel tonight so that we can look at her again in the morning to make sure she is still well. But that is a happy ending, for a patient that was so critical, we feared for her life for several hours. Clearly the clinic and the medicine we had for her saved her life. The medicine that saved her life cost one dollar!!!!!
