Check out this great opportunity from our friends at Malaria No More!

Calling all undergrads! Did you miss your opportunity to join the ONE Campus Challenge trip to Africa with Bryant, Melissa, Stephanie, Steven and Tomas? Well, here’s a second chance to travel to Kenya and report back on progress in the fight against malaria.

Non-profit Malaria No More is teaming up with Novartis Pharmaceuticals Corporation (makers of Coartem, one of the best malaria treatments) for the “World Briefing: Telling the Malaria Story” contest.

U.S. undergraduate students can enter to win a trip to Kenya for the MIM Pan-African Malaria Conference in Nairobi, November 2-6, 2009! Here’s your chance to test out your reporting skills at one of the biggest malaria events of the year. Learn about new technologies, innovative strategies and how the world is mobilizing to end malaria deaths in Africa by 2015—and report-back through blogs, Twitter, video diaries and more!

To enter, write a personal statement of 500 words explaining why you want to report on the latest news in Africa’s battle against malaria and how you can bring a fresh perspective. Send it along with a tweet (140 characters) to pitch why YOU are the best man or woman for the job.

Find out all the details, including entry information and eligibility at www.malarianomore.org/worldbriefing. The deadline is Friday, August 21st.
