African Proverbs in Malaria Education

Worldwide we celebrate World Malaria Day on Sunday, 25 April, 2010. The Kenyan government (Ministry of Health) is holding its national commemoration of World Malaria Day in Kakamega this year. Our “2010 African Proverbs Calendar” (www.afriprov.org ) has the theme “Healing, Heath Care, Wellness.” The calendar for the month of April, 2010 has the theme “Making Healthy Choices to Prevent Malaria” and uses the Haya, Tanzania proverb:  A person who is not disciplined cannot be cautioned.
