Whenever conversations about global health come up, they usually centre around disease outbreaks, vaccines, medical research, or improving access to healthcare. For the longest time, that was exactly how I thought about it too. To me, global health was simply about finding better ways to keep people healthy. Sometimes, however, all we need is a little more education to broaden our perspective.

I looked forward to the harmattan period as a child growing up in Jos, Plateau state. I wasn’t a fan of the dust but I loved the cold weather because then I got to wear cool jackets and pretend I was abroad. I especially loved December because of the holidays which meant eating, playing and watching Home Alone. It also meant huddling together as a family on the couch under heavy blankets to keep warm.
