Bahati Traoré holds her sleeping newborn daughter, wrapped securely against her for warmth to reduce the risk of hypothermia, at the Kita Regional Reference Health Centre in the town of Kita in the western Kayes Region of Mali. The treatment is part of the ‘Kangaroo Mother Care’ method and was invented in Colombia in the 1980s to provide an alternative for premature or underweight newborns who have no access to incubators. Ms. Traoré’s daughter was born at a nearby centre two months early – a delivery brought on by shock following the death of another of her children, from malaria. The Kangaroo Mother Care method is now a standard treatment in Malian regional reference centres and is taught as a best practice in UNICEF-supported midwife trainings.

There’s something wrong with me. Or right with me? For the past few weeks I have become involuntarily kid-friendly. Little kids see me on the street or at the store and say hi or just wave. It’s happening so suddenly, I’m not sure how to react to all of it. I’m used to kids seeing the black dude and bolting.
This evening caps it. At the grocery store, a kid climbed off her her mom and ran to me holding out her hands for me to carry her. I did, awkwardly of course and was lost for what to do next. Luckily her mom hurried over apologizing. We got to talking and I told her what had been happening and her first question was if I have a girlfriend?
That’s supposed to explain everything? hmnmn.
