“Goats and Soda” is National Public Radio (NPR)'s global health and development blog. It is a platform to share stories of life in our changing world, focusing on low- and middle-income countries, taking into account that we're all neighbors in this global village (https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/).
