World Malaria Day – April 25

April 5, 20104/5/10 Courtney Tompkins 3 comments Share

In the U.S. we don’t often worry about contracting disease with flu-like symptoms from a parasite. And yet there are up to 500 MILLION cases and one million deaths from malaria around the world. All from a lil mosquito!

What can you do? Learn about malaria, sponsor a bednet and spread the word!

In order to eliminate life cycle of mosquito, we need to empty anything that can contain water so mosquitoes will no be able to lay eggs.
