The Effects of Malaria on Children in Malawi

Every two minutes, a child under five dies of Malaria in Malawi. Malaria is a protozoan parasite that invades the red blood cells, which is transmitted by mosquitos. Symptoms include chills, high fever, sweating, pain in the abdomen or muscles, impaired consciousness, abnormal bleeding, convulsions, and organ dysfunction. I am going to research the negative effects it has caused on the children of the country of Malawi. I went to the impoverished village of Ngodzi and saw how the people were affected, especially children, by Malaria. There are several different methods of fighting Malaria in Malawi, some examples are pre-natal medication, Malaria treatments, mosquito nets or spray, and more medical clinics

Pugs: The Terrible Truth

For centuries, pugs have been bred for their large eyes and squished in face, also known as brachycephalic (squashed nose/flat-faced), unknowingly creating man-made health complications that now affect their day-to-day life.

The presenter also hopes to address what the Kennel Club and even the vets can do to help or speak up, and why it is imperative to consider the breed shift to extinction
