I took this photo of my friend while I was teaching her and her family how to make neem cream. Neem cream is a local insect repellant made by boiling leaves of the neem tree and then mixing the neem water with soap and oil. It is very simple and inexpensive to make, and goes a long way in preventing malaria. All Peace Corps Volunteers in The Gambia, especially Health volunteers, are trained to make it and are encouraged to teach others as well.
