FIGHTING JIGGERS

Judith kahura is my name. about some years back whie still in primary school, i got attacked by jiggers which actually affected me negatively. the exparence made me to stop school since i couldn't sustain the pain realised by the itching caused by the same at the same time i was in class. however a visit later by an organization into our area brought hope into my life. they came into my village with with the sole goal of countering the jiggers. they held a one week workshop where, i and many others who were infected got treated well. some days after treatment i was able to go to school since i was well again. i am really happy since they changed my life.
