Stomachs in Need

While half of the village's kids have torso akin to junior Peter Andres, the other half seem to going for the Jocky Wilson look. On further enquiry it turns out they don't in fact have a secret darts league in the bush but their paunches are the work of worms. Apart from leaving the kids constantly famished, there are a lot of not so nice side effects from these uninvited guests. After a chat with a local clinic it seems one tablet before bed time is all required to show them the door.

So on November 8th I staged Konko's inaugural 'Stomachs in Need'. After procuring 200 tablets we set up store in the school. The nurse administered the medicine while I played Terry Wogan, weaving the occasional anecdote between awarding prizes for 'best stomach in show' and 'best newcomer' for some of the babies. Within three hours we had reached our 200 target on the 'stomachometer'.
