Malaria, Still a Mighty Killer

Is there a way to eradicate mosquitos? Because the wrath that they bring with the transmission of malaria is unmeasurable. Though malaria is virtually nonexistent in the US, it kills an African child every second. Can you believe that??? By the time you finish reading this post, hundreds of children will have died, due to malaria. The worst aspect of it all, is that this can all be prevented if people sleep under insecticide treated bed nets. They cost less than a dollar, but can't be afforded by those living in extreme poverty. For those of you who can afford to donate a net or the time to play a game and get a sponsor to donate one, please go to www.NothingButNets.net

Note: The game is kind of boring, so you can just click the link to "Deliver the Net"
