TAMU Health for Haiti Presents:

The Little Monkey and the Big Problem

A children's book written and illustrated by Texas A&M students

The issues afflicting Haiti are exacerbated by alack of public sanitation. Today, 90% of Haitian children will suffer from an intestinal parasite or water-borne disease. We seek to address this issue by promoting good stewardship and personal responsibility through the story of a little monkey who, together with the king of the jungle, changes his community’s attitude toward picking up after themselves. It will be distributed to primary school students in the

Port-au-Prince area.
