This is a statue of Shapona, the West African
God of Smallpox. It is part of the CDC’s
Global Health Odyssey (GHO) collection of
artifacts. A uniquely carved wooden figure, it is
adorned with layers of meaningful objects including
monkey skulls, cowrie shells, and nails. Donated in

by a traditional healer who made

This image depicts a group of school children who were seated
in the lunchroom of a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school
taking their daily lunch break during their school day activities. In
this particular view, missing a front tooth, a smiling young girl in
the foreground was holding up a Red Delicious apple in her right
hand, which she’d extracted from her lunch bag, and was about to
enjoy as a terrific nutritious ending to her well-balanced meal.
