Taken at an Afrikids Quiz, organised with some of the money
that Grandma and Pa gave me to give to worthy causes in Bolga. The children are part of a Child Rights
group, which learns about the “spirit child” phenomenon, where children with
physical disabilities like cleft palette are killed by “medicine men”. These children help to educate their families
about “spirit children”. They also have
cross school quizzes, where children compete to show their general knowledge
and knowledge on child rights.
Afrikids in Sirigu have done such good work with the
medicine men that men who formerly worked as medicine men now educate
communities about “spirit children”, encouraging parents to get professional
medical attention for their children.
