My alarm clock rings and wakes me up. I rub my eyes to keep away the bad dream I had. I look at the watch, it’s 06:30 AM and I realise that I have overslept. It’s Tuesday, the very day that I don’t want to be late. Tuesday is the day for antiretroviral (ARV) initiation.

A typical Monday for me begins with a 4WD ride, heading over unpaved roads from the small town of Thyolo to Thekerani village where I spend most days of every week working.
Nowadays, it has been very cold . Last May, the rainy season has ended and the thick fog marked the beginning of winter.

The village of Thekerani is a far-flung village in Malawi, one of the least developed countries in the Southern Africa region. This is going to be my home for nine months. But getting here wasn’t really that easy.

"You have to know your limitations, we are not God." my teammate said.
My eyes were red, from too many sleepless nights by being on call. They were getting redder and a bit moist.

Kamla was born in a remote Indian village
Where conflicts between Maoists and government are long and lasting
Villagers live in fear
No basic healthcare, bad transportation,
The instability worsens the problems
No choices, childbirth is always at home – she was no exception

South Sudan- It sounds like a place stricken by a biblical plague- disease after unimaginable disease, all come to rest in one pitiful region of a vast African country.
