Malaria	To Lariam or not to Lariam Malaria is a killer disease and pre-cautions must always be taken. Malaria kills hundreds of thousands of children and adults every year. Do not forget that everyone's objective in this debate is to safely control malaria and save lives. You must take heed of pre-cautions if you are travelling to a malarious region. You should absolutely try to take some form of prophylactic anti-malarial drug. There is a range to choose from and you should seek advice from a qualified doctor about this. The point of this site is to give people everywhere access to plenty of sources of information about the drug mefloquine, therefore enabling them to make a properly informed decision when agreeing to take it.

Control measures are becoming less effective, and the threat of epidemic malaria is increasing in many tropical areas.

MASAAILAND	Maasai, Pride of Africa: a Vanishing Culture. The Maasai, whose history is lost in the heart of the Dark Continent, are, at the same time, a symbol and very real people with an uncertain future.

Sorious Samura	Sorious Samura won international acclaim for his documentary Cry Freetown, which highlighted atrocities that were taking place in his native Sierra Leone. "It is my belief that unless we Africans can tell our own story within content and show an Africa that has not been seen before the West will continue to throw their hands up in despair believing that our continent is full of a bunch of confused savages that is now beyond salvation/redemption. The only way the West can understand and treat us seriously is to hear the African story first hand from the African perspective rather than the usual whitie version - so why not take the risk if that can help turn things around for our Continent".
