Aida Valdez

Aida Valdez, 6, looks at her two-month-old cousin, Samuel, who was born three months prematurely but is now a healthy, growing "hombrecito" (little man). In Las Pajas, mosquito nets are considered a luxury that few can afford. But the nets are vital in controlling outbreaks of Malaria and the infamous Dengue Fever.
