Did you know - one child dies every minute because of malaria?    

Did you know - malaria is preventable?

Did you know - YOU can help prevent malaria?

Please join us in the fight against malaria with our Lenten Project "Trashing Malaria."  Not only is this a global outreach program, but we're also serving our local community at the same time.

How it works: We will coordinate and promote Community Clean-Up days during which students will clean up parks, trails, creek beds and other public areas. Local and corporate sponsors will pledge a certain dollar amount for the trash and recycling we collect. All money raised will be used to purchase life-saving bed nets for children in Africa who die from malaria-carrying mosquito bites at night. Malaria is only transmitted through female mosquitoes and that most female mosquitoes are nocturnal feeders.   

If you'd like more information regarding malaria and "nothing but nets," follow this link.

Stay tuned for more information regarding our community clean up on Sunday, March 10.
