Neves was a young boy I met on my first trip to Mozambique. He lives in the village Mbatwe which is right next to the airport in Beira. His mother brought him out to meet our group. He stayed in the house covered with a cloth to keep the flys off him. He has severe eczema and his skin weeps and oozes tissue fluid. The skin is cracked and very uncomfortable. We went to a near by pharmacy and got soap for cleansing, moisturizer to soothe his skin, an antibiotic to cover infection and topical cortisone cream to reduce the inflammation. I stopped by to see him 2 weeks later before I left the country.
