At The Sota Clinic four young patients, all under the age of ten, were running around the facility the day I visited with Sr. Margaret Ishengoma (also of IMA World Health), and staff of Shirati Mennonite Hospital. The fact that these children are able to laugh and be children, is a testament to the work being done at The Sota Clinic by Dr. Esther Kawira and her staff for children suffering from Burkitt's Lymphoma (BL) and the investment that the Government of Tanzania is putting into BL.

BL is a childhood cancer that is predominately found in areas where there is a prevalence of malaria. With the proper treatment children may be cured of this disfiguring and potentially fatal illness.

Lucas' grandmother had brought him 35 kilometers to The Sota Clinic because he hadn't been able to see for three days and had a noticeable tumor in his palate. Within five days of receiving his first chemotherapy treatment Lucas was able to see clearly.

Five-year old Ely Marwa was brought to the clinic by a cousin. Ely had suffered for two weeks from a mass in his left jaw. He underwent three cycles of chemotherapy and was sent home shortly after.

Lucas and Ely are not the only children with BL at The Sota Clinic. The cacophony of children's voices fills the clinic as they grow stronger and everyone enjoys listening.
