Join the Call. Connect to Fight Malaria
It likely killed King Tut. At least eight US Presidents have battled it. And every 40 seconds, a child in sub-Saharan Africa dies from it. But no one should die from a single mosquito bite. It’s time to put an end to malaria.
So what can you do to get involved? On Tuesday, February 23 at 4 pm (EST), join a call with young activists from around the globe to hear the latest on the fight against malaria. On the call will be Ray Chambers, the UN Special Envoy for Malaria and a special celebrity guest. They’ll share their personal and professional experiences and talk about ways that we can all get involved to put an end to this deadly disease.
To join in, dial 1-800-244-5901. Then enter the code 306483. If you’d like to submit a question beforehand, please send an email here. And make sure to call in early—space is limited!
A special thanks to our partners on this call—Malaria No More and the Tony Blair Faith Foundation Faiths Act Fellows.
