POVERTY CONTRIBUTES TO ........

Poverty contributes to many situations that are not seen in a developed country. Ebola has broken out  in Guinea and Liberia ( located in West Africa on the Atlantic Coast) both countries are very poor with severe lack of health care. Ebola is transmitted through contact with bodily fluids and has a very poor prognosis as there is no vaccine. Doctors without Borders are trying to cope with the situation but lack of education, resources and health care, make it almost an impossible task. SO if you live in a place with accessible health care, education for all and  a social  safety net,  give thanks and perhaps a donation to Doctors without Borders might be an idea (I would think that you can do while on line with a visa card). No, it is not here in Ghana so I do not worry.
