Nothing but Nets

Found this interesting short on Bible Belt Blogger.

The United Methodist Church, the National Basketball Association, Sports Illustrated and several others are teaming up to provide mosquito nets for African children. The nets, which cost about $10 each, help shield young ones from malaria-carrying mosquitoes.

About 3,000 children die each day from malaria, and the nets prevent mosquitoes from biting kids while they sleep. For more information, go to www.NothingButNets.net.
