(NAME-MCE) Malaria Prevention, Awareness and Fundraising Through New Malaria Module

Malaria Prevention, Awareness and Fundraising Through New Malaria Module

 
The UN Foundation and Youth Service America have collaborated on a new
service-learning module combining malaria prevention, awareness and
fundraising that serves to engage volunteers on Global Youth Service Day
(April 25-27, 2008) and World Malaria Day (April 25, 2008).  Both events
fall on the same weekend this year giving young people, parents, and
educators an opportunity to engage in service projects that address
malaria and its role as a global health crisis.   
 
The Malaria Module, sponsored by the UN Foundation, is also designed for
the Nothing But Nets Netraising Teams and their work around the world in
fighting against malaria.  For more information about the Malaria
Module, GYSD, and many other service-learning and youth strategy
resources, please go to:

NETS Challenge for Global Youth Service Day and World Malaria Day 2008,
