John, I’d be incredibly jealous if you were able to make it down to Africa! Our client, Mosquito Squad was presented with an opportunity to partner with Malaria No More and after meeting with both teams we feel in love with the program and I dived in head first. After watching some of the videos (you can find them on our Facebook community) the life and spirit these children have, even after seeing what horrible things can happen from this disease, is amazing and we feel lucky to be a part of it.

Our focus is providing insecticide-treated mosquito nets and education – empowering families and communities with the knowledge and resources to combat this disease.

How cool! I just checked out the site. I hope I can make it down to D.C. while the exhibit is still there. It would be great if you shared what you saw on our Facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/SwatMalaria.

I just went to the National Geographic Exhibit, “Design for the other 90%” which was very interesting. They had a tent with a malaria net lining inside. This is a great idea, Im in

this is a great cause, I think you should do some reasearch on DDT as it is the will have the strongest impact on eliminating malaria. There is no scientific evidence that DDT is harmful to the envrionment, it is more of a political issue. Good luck!

I am looking at a trip to Africa this next year and was intrigued with this post. Specifically, it would be great to understand your passion for this area of the world and how you came to pick this important cause. Thanks.
