Highly commended entries

(PJ. Huntingford, age 14.) My wish is for people to understand and to see NTDS more and to understand what people go through when they have an NTD.	(D. Abeysekara, age 9) In a small village, children worked hard to stay safe from Neglected Tropical Diseases. Their dream was a world free from NTDs for all children.	(Joanne P, age 11) I wish everyone has access to vaccinations and medicine because hundreds of people are suffering from diseases like leprosy.
(M Kocak, age 9) Washing hands can help prevent the spread of diseases. Anyone who is able can wash their hands to contribute to reducing the risk.	(Minaal N, age 16) Whilst there have been progression and advancements in modern medicine, the underprivileged and the developing countries are still facing health inequalities. We need to do more work as a society in preventing such diseases.	(B. Neilson, age 12) My artwork title is called ‘lion heart’ as it shows how brave people can really be. My chosen wish for the people with Human African trypanosomiasis (sleeping sickness) is that they are recognised and get the treatment and respect they need to fight the sickness.
(T O Reynolds, age 11) I have used lots of colour to raise awareness. Like my poster says ‘this is NOT okay!’. We need to stop neglecting and start protecting.	(S. Srinivasan, age 8) Srivarshini is sending a wish to the countries with tropical diseases across the world through her ‘magic wish bubbles’. These colorful, protective bubbles bring health to kids like her.	(E. Tustin, age 10) I wish to end neglected tropical diseases because they are dangerous and can make people sick.
(D. Chhaniyara, Age 9) My wish is that we can move and follow the path away from bugs and bacteria to a place where all the parts of life that can take away the risk of NTDs can be available for everyone.	(Jacob P, age 11) I wish that everyone can access clear water and sanitation facility which can reduce the infection.	(E. Armer, age 10) Eve’s wish is for clean, fresh water in all tropical places!
(G. Hermosura, age 11) A lot of infections cursed the tropical lands and a lot of damage is done on the people. The main areas are South America, Africa and Southeast Asia were the ones being affected the most. But we can make a difference.	(A Win, age 8) I drew this picture because I always wanted to help the people who have health problems. I would like to cheer them up with a smile.
