A ‘talk’ to remember: Mandy Moore to discuss malaria in live Facebook chat
This month, we’ve been focusing a lot of our efforts on the Global Fund and their great work in the fight against HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria.
So, what better way to jump into these issues than getting in on a live chat with malaria experts, social activist Derrick Ashong and –- wait for it -– singer and actress Mandy Moore?
Today Nothing But Nets and PSI will be hosting an interactive town hall discussion on their Facebook page at 2 p.m. ET. You’ll have the opportunity to directly participate in the conversation, listen to stories from the ground and most importantly, learn why the Central African Republic urgently needs life-saving bed nets.
RSVP for the event on Nothing But Nets’ Facebook page. We know it’s during office hours, but let’s be honest — you’ll be on Facebook, anyway. So, join this important discussion and show Miss Mandy (who by the way, is a PSI ambassador!) that you’re committed to ending preventable diseases like malaria for good.
