what choice does the family have to make regarding Akeer

Akeer sleeps on the floor, whimpering. She and many others in the group complain of stomach cramps or diarrhea. Akeer is worrying to Nya because she is too exhausted to even complain. This illness can be deadly for the elderly or young children.

Nya’s uncle, the village chief, tells her family of a medical clinic a few days’ walk away. It might be a tough trip for the little girl and they are not sure if they should risk it.
