Children support Drive Against Malaria

Amsterdam - 230 children of the Dutch Christian Elementary School, Immanuel, Rijsenhout were full of fascination during the film about the humanitarian work of Drive Against Malaria Foundation in Africa. The children sat on the edge of their seats to listen during the presentation of David Robertson and Julia Samuel.
In the coming months the children will raise funds for the poorest families in the Central African Republic (CAR) to buy long lasting nets and provide medication for malaria sicken children.

RRI Support malaria fight SW Cameroon

Limbe based "Rig Repair International" financed malaria screening along the coastline of SW Cameroon in Njonji Village, Debundscha, Isobi and Idenau. Testing was followed up with the 3 day course, combination therapy "Coartem" to cure malaria. Long lasting mosquito nets were given along with education on the best ways to prevent malaria by sleeping under an impregnated net. The people were tested over a two day period by the DAM team working with JCI in each location. This insured everyone had the opportunity of the free test & treatment along with up to 2 mosquito nets per household. These nets can prevent malaria for up to 4 years.
