TODAY'S OPPORTUNITY PUTS THINGS INTO PERSPECTIVE!
FOR THE COST OF THE AVERAGE LUNCH OUT, YOU CAN SAVE THE LIFE OF A CHILD.
From their website:
Although $10 for a bed net may not sound like much, the cost makes them out of reach for most people at risk of malaria, many of whom survive on less than $1 a day. Nets are a simple life-saving solution.
- Each year, malaria afflicts approximately a half-billion people (roughly the population of the United States,
Canada, and Mexico combined).
- Malaria kills more than a million people per year; 90 percent of those who die are African children.
- Every 30 seconds in Africa a child dies of malaria.
Visit the website http://www.nothingbutnets.net/its-easy-to-help/ and see the different ways in which you can help. You can donate to purchase nets, you can become part of a fundraising team or you can start your own fundraising team or choose one of the other ways to help. Take a look at their toolkit and see which opportunity best suits you. Is this the opportunity for you? Are you able to help?
