Author Notes
Naani poems usually focus on current human conditions.

There are numerous charitable organizations that distribute mosquito netting to prevent malaria in third world countries. Malaria kills over one million people each year, most of them children. 20% of deaths of African children below the age of 5 are attributed to totally preventable malaria, transmitted through mosquito bites. Most organizations charge only $10 for a net, a pittance for a life.
