"Look at what happened in Southeast Asia with the Tsunami. 150,000 lives lost to the greatest misnomer of all misnomers, "mother nature." Well, in Africa, 150,000 lives are lost every month. A tsunami every month. And it's a completely avoidable catastrophe."

What a great quote, especially for today! The US is commemorating today as Malaria Awareness Day and you can give $10 to Nothing But Nets to provide nets for families in Africa and prevent malaria. More information can be found at CoolPeopleCare.org. Thanks Carrie for reminding us of what is happening around the rest of the world.
I found this article a while back (link below) which says Malaria kills more than 1 million people a year, most of them children in Africa (750,000).
