April 25th: World Malaria Day

I know this is (for the most part) unrelated to the work we do at the YLMP, but I would like to draw your attention to the fact that this coming Sunday (the 25th of April) is World Malaria Day. Living in Ghana, malaria is something that is bound to have affected us all in one way or another at some point, and it would be good to recognise this day and reflect on the work so many people are doing in order to combat this disease.

There's a link below which will take you to the World Malaria Day website. This site is part of a year-round campaign that has been working tirelessly in the arduous fight against malaria. I'd like to encourage you to get involved in any way you can; and if you do, please let us know about it! Either way, try to spread the word about the day as much as possible. Together, we can do more to stamp malaria out.


Clicking on the right hand side of the link will take you to the Roll Back Malaria site. You'll be seeing this logo around on several sites addressing the issue of malaria. And for all you Twitter fans out there, ONE (listed on our 'Interesting Blogs' widget on the right hand side) has launched a twitter campaign to help put a stop to malaria. You can view their Twitter page here.
