Malaria No More

After holding the benefit for Heifer International,  I thought about the power of an individual or a  community coming together for a certain cause, and what an enormous amount of help that can be done with such a small amount of money and effort.  I think it’s typical to see the world as a place that has so many problems, it’s impossible to do anything about them all, so we tend to do nothing.  Of course, there is no way to abolish all the suffering in this world, but their is an opportunity to make a difference in a person’s life, not knowing how they can impact another and another. 

One awesome way to do that is through an organization called Malaria No More.  They hope to significantly reduce the amount of unnecessary deaths caused by the spread of Malaria through mosquitoes.  For about 20 bucks you can purchase a mosquito net to to protect a person while they are sleeping. Malaria is a disease that claims thousands of lives, even though it can be eradicated through vaccination.  Check out their website and see what they are doing.
