Africa the Continent


The Guinea Worm Disease

The Guinea Worm Disease is a disease that is at Africa. This disease is caused by contanimated water that the Africans drink. The disease is a illness that in the water that they drink, there are eggs of worms that grows within the stomach for weeks. Either way, there is little help for the illness, there wasn't that much of a cure and it is causing for people to die every single day. But over the years, there was a cure that for now people are going to start drinking water from a pipe underground. When the disease was starting to occur, people were making a hypothesis that the raw meat was causing the disease to occour, but their hypothesis was incorrect. It was the water that they were drinking from miles away.

Animals of Africa



There are many animals that live in Africa. For example, there are lions, tigers, snakes, zebras, gorrillas,giraffes, elephant,(many more) etc. But not all animals are the same. They are all different. All type of animals have different types of species. The animals also survive in different types of resources, for they can survive in their habitats. Over the years, the animals' is starting to loses its quantity of its population. The animals are starting to get extint but not only on one type of animal, in all type of animals. But, the animals that are already extint, mostly come from Africa. The good part is that, there is still animals that are still surviving in Africa.

Africans' Water and Food

Some of the water of Africa is contanimated. A million of children die every single day. But, they still need water to survive from being thirst. When they have at least some money, they will go buy some food for their children not to starve. Sometimes, the Africans don't
even have food to eat at all. In Africa, there isn't any water, so that means that they need to walk for miles, to find a quantity (amount) of water to drink. Without food and medicine in Africa, in 7 secounds, a person dies in Africa. In my calculation, 12 million people dies in one day.
