In Kenya, hundreds of thousands of children suffer from HIV/AIDS, cancer, and other illnesses. They often experience severe, debilitating pain. Morphine and other medicines can cheaply and easily bring relief, but very few sick children receive them. This is Jethro's story.

  • Very upsetting, no one should have to leave this world in that way.  We need to do better to help people experiencing pain.

  • Aveces la vida es tan injusta... pero todo lo que vinimos a vivir en este mundo es para una enseñanza una huella que nunca se borrara en esta civilizacion que se ha establecido en los parametros del dolor, la depresion y la enfermedad. Lo más fuerte con lo que debemos lidiar nosotros: la humanidad de esta epoca es que entre la pobreza y la desinformación se encuentra el tesoro más preciado de las civilizaciones... la niñez.

  • Powerful: I look forwards to watch the growth in global palliative care - a vigorous effort to increase access to services, including opioid and other analgesics. To be free of pain is a human right.

  • Sharing, Justice and Peace will change all inequalities.
