staff an 'extra allowance' on top of the national salary the state pays. The state hasn't been paying so our cash is their only salary, however we need to maintain that staff
are employed by ministry of health in order to better build the strength of the ministry. In Gbartala we were seeking a more appropriate location for a new health centre, which the local community
were finding. The would dig the sand and gravel and make the bricks, we would buy the cement and pay the local men to build it for the community. At this clinic local men slept in the building at
night to protect the drugs. (Copyright: Gar Powell Evans, Save the Children
