HI, TODAY I REALLY DIDN'T DO ANY WORK BECAUSE I'M NOT FEELING TOO GOOD. I CHANGED MY NHD TOPIC TO "QUININE", THE CURE FOR MALARIA BECAUSE MALARIA PLAYS A MAJOR IN AFRICA AND IN MANY OTHER CONTINENTS AND COUNTRIES, BUT IT IS KNOWN TO BE DEADLIER IN AFRICA BECAUSE OF THE WEATHER AND THE CLIMATE THERE. ALSO THE PEOPLE THERE CAN'T AFFORD THE MEDICATION BECAUSE MOST OF THE PEOPLE THERE IS EXTREMELY POOR. SO I FIGURED THAT QUININE PLAYS A BIG PART IN IMPACT AND CHANGES.
