Play a New Online Interactive Game & Send a Bed Net to Africa

Tuesday, April 15. 2008

This is a letter from an acquaintance of mine, Shannon Raybold, from the UN Foundation, that I thought I'd share:

Hi,

I’d like to share with you something I’ve been working a lot on and am very excited about - a new interactive game (hopefully you will tell a friend or two about), Deliver the Net, that our Nothing But Nets campaign has made to educate people about malaria. The game is part of the lead-up to World Malaria Day on April 25. Those who play the game and sign up will have a$10 life-saving bed net sent to Africa by Nothing But Nets on their behalf.

You may know that malaria kills more than a million African children a year – a child every 30 seconds – and costs African economies over $12 billion.

We’ve already helped cover seven African nations, including Zimbabwe and Mali, and we have our sights set on more. I hope you’ll be willing to help us get the message out and take advantage of the generous donor who will send a $10 bed net for every signature.

Thanks and I hope you enjoy the game!
