Tropical rain on a corrugated iron roof isn't exactly soporific is it?! I was motivated to have a quick google on charities buying mosquito nets in Africa, and more precisely, in The Gambia: Sos-Childrens Villages run an initiative for orphans in their care... and an American charity 'justnets'aims to provide nets for families throughout Africa. It seems such a simple solution to the killer bug... Stay safe. V.x Hi Cuz,
