In Cameroon alone over 190 village projects has been successfully created malaria free zones. Drs Julia Samuël, Operational Director Drive Against Malaria; 'We believe that every human in this broken world, take his life by example. How often do we choose not to intervene with the broken people in Africa?' David Robertson is one of the few people that rise against the negativity, ignored the impossible and changed it into the achievable. We can change the life of someone else. 'If you can't help a hundred people, than just help one' is Robertson's drive. Even kindness or a thoughtful word. Anything to help a person, to know that someone cares for them. That they are not alone in the world and not forgotten.
