I had another great day sharing about Project Sunset with the sixth graders at Boulan Park Middle School talking about how they aren’t too young to make a difference! They had a lot of great questions and I’m excited to see the awesome projects they start!
Thanks for having me!!
Thank you to @sarah_lewan from @Project_Sunset for coming in today to talk with our 6th grade social studies students about the impacts of Malaria in Africa. @TeacherTechGuy1
In the 2017 WHO Malaria Report, the Director-General was adamantly encouraging the world that how we invest in the fight against malaria in these next few pivotal years will determine if we reach our 2020 incidence target goals, which will set the course for our 2030 goals.
Help us change this statistic and see fewer positive malaria tests like this one. projectsunset.org #WorldMalariaDay
Our Project Sunset team in Gabon has been hard at work and have already distributed 150 nets! #projectsunset
UPDATE-Good news: our 3,000 nets made it to Gabon! Bad news: Gabonese Customs is holding the nets at the port asking for $8,000 for the nets to be released. Please pray for the government to realize this 80% tax is preventing so many people from receiving protection from malaria.
Thanks @RoyalOakPatch, for sharing about our event partnered with @ROHS_Interact! patch.com/michigan/royaloak/…
Our event is only a few weeks away! We hope to see you there! patch.com/michigan/royaloak/…
Great meeting today with @ROHS_Interact planning our upcoming Red Carpet Night on April 25th! #projectsunsetafrica
Since 2000, the malaria mortality rate has decreased by 66% in the African region! #ErasingMalaria
