Imagine No Malaria

Did you know that every 30 seconds, a child in Africa dies from a preventable and curable disease? This means that in just one hour of your favorite television show, malaria will take the lives of 120 people. Did you know that mothers in Africa are often forced to watch their children die while they sit helplessly on the sidelines? Did you know that malaria is the deadliest plague in the history of mankind? Malaria takes the lives of over 1 million people every year, primarily pregnant women and children under the age of 5.

But also, did you know there is a cure for malaria? Did you know there are many effective malaria-preventative actions that can be taken? Did you know that just $10 can shield a family of four or five from malaria-carrying mosquitoes, potentially saving lives? Did you know Avatar brought in $75 million it's opening week? That's enough money to virtually eliminate malaria in Africa by 2015. And lastly, did you know my Lord and Savior is a miracle worker who has the power to heal Africa?

Today is World Malaria Awareness day. You may not have known all of these things before, but now you do. You have a chance to help save lives and serve God's children. Spread the word. Make a difference. Change the World by being the change.
