  1. Annual Dengue Deaths By Kimiko Shihara Raheem

  2. Introduction • My goal is to persuade the United Nations to give financial aid to my country. • The country that I am representing is my home country, Sri Lanka. • The countries that I am using to compare data with Sri Lanka are New Zealand, Russia and Singapore.

  3. Dengue • Dengue is a tropical disease that threatens it’s victims lives. • Victims go through fever, booming headaches, rashes, swollen glands, and painful muscle/joint pains • There is no cure or vaccine for this disease. • Instead, prevention is usually by reducing the number of mosquitoes surrounding the areas and limiting the chance of mosquito bites.

Along with 579 people feeling the exact same way…
