Set in rural Kenya, this inspiriting, fictionalized account of Mimi’s village without health care gives the reader a viewpoint  about the urgent need to improve developing countries by providing them with clean water, protection from mosquitos, and vaccinations.  The reader’s world views are expanded  with the ultimate goal  to create change.  In the developing world, 21,000 children die every day from preventable diseases.  This fact alone, illuminates the dire situation that cries out for attention.  Organizations such as Partners In Health and Malaria  No More  are explained. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation also began helping parts of Africa , Asia and Latin America to  eliminate malaria.  Each year, for five years, they contribute $100,000  to The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria.  Rates for malaria are now falling.  The website, www.mimisvillage.org provides more information for students and teachers who want to become involved in this global program.
