Buy A Net, Save A Life, April 25 On World Malaria Day

You've heard of malaria, but do you know how easy it is to prevent it? Probably not. Tomorrow is World Malaria Day. Skip a lunch, or a couple of coffees, or a movie and instead spend $10 to send a mosquito net to Africa. I heard a presentation recently on Nothing But Nets (the program that Ashton Kusher is talking about, and Exxon is advertising on TV) and it is amazing. Ten dollars buys a treated mosquito net that you put over bed to prevent being bitten by a malaria-carrying mosquito while you are sleeping. Buy one--you'll sleep better if you do.
