Thanks to all who put this page together! It's a great educational tool to raise awareness. I just wanted to spread the word about the Global AIDS, Tuberculosis, and Malaria Bill which expires on September 30, 2008. You can research the bill and urge your representative in Congress to vote for its reauthorization. I've put together a short article on World Malaria Day, which includes information on this bill. If interested, you can find the article at: http://international-health-science.suite101.com/article.cfm/world_malaria_day

I work for International Medical Corps, and I want to express my greatest thanks for those who set this up. IMC is honored to be lending a hand in eliminating malaria as a public health problem.

Hi. Thanks for all your good work in world malaria awareness! I work with the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging (cfcausa.org). We support sponsorship of people living in poverty in 25 developing nations.

Part of our role in malaria-infested areas is to provide preventive measures, create greater awareness of the disease and to help in getting quality medical care when people contract malaria. We posted some personal stories on our blog today. They're at: http://cfca.wordpress.com/2008/04/25/world-malaria-day/

African countries and other nations commemorate April 25 to raise global awareness of malaria, and to reaffirm their commitment to fighting this disease. The United States is proud to stand with them. Over 5 years our tax dollars are contributing $2.1 billion to cut malaria’s mortality rate by 50 percent in target countries.
