wpdlogoGiveVaccines.org wishes you a Happy and, most importantly Healthy, World Pneumonia Day. Today, we help raise awareness to fight pneumonia, a disease taking the lives of two million children each year. With increased awareness and aid, these deaths can be avoided. GiveVaccines.org is teaming up with WorldPneumoniaDay.org by donating all proceeds from November 1 thru November 30, 2009. Each time you log on to GiveVaccines.org and take part in our interactive vocabulary quiz game, you too will help fight the spread of pneumonia around the world.

GiveVaccines.org is a non-profit organization whose ultimate goal is to help prevent the spread of disease in the neediest areas of the world while providing an enjoyable tool for participants to improve their English vocabulary and medical terminology. All net proceeds from advertising revenues are donated to GaviAlliance.org and other affiliated organizations for the purchase of life-saving vaccines. Through support from the GAVI Alliance, low-income countries can access pneumonia vaccines for as little as $0.15 per dose., which equates to 150 accumulative correct answers on GiveVaccines.org. To play this interactive learning quiz, go to www.GiveVaccines.org

To commemorate the World Pneumonia Day, GiveVaccines.org has created a special category with regards to pneumonia. For this category, and each of the other categories, you will find 10 levels of difficulty. GiveVaccines.org will automatically adjust to words of varying levels of difficulty based on your performance. So, challenge yourself and your friends to see what level you can achieve. Visit GiveVaccines.org and help join the cause!

    Thanks for this post, Sam. I’ve been a longtime supporter of the GAVI Alliance & its substantial work to improve the health of some of the world’s poorest people. I hope more ONE members will also support what the GAVI Alliance does!
