A new dawn
It about 14 hours to the innaguration of the first African-American President of the most powerful
nation on earth. People all over the world have different expectations and hope in the new President. Africans in particular
who have always been let down by their own leadership look forward towards the new President hoping that his policies
may make a positive change in their lives particularly in their economic and health fields. For people with sickle cell disease
in Uganda and all over the world, their only hope is that the world may awaken and give sickle cell disease the attention
that it deserves.
