I've been researching malaria as I am working on getting funding for a malaria clinic at the school I worked at in Ghana two summers ago--Forever Young International Schools. One of the main reasons that students miss school there is because of malaria. It's been heartbreaking and insightful reading up on the disease. Did you know that about 20% (or 1 out of 5) of African children who die by the age of five will have died from malaria?! One of the better articles I found on it is found on the National Geographic Magazine website "Stop a Global Killer."
If anyone's interested in finding out more about the project I'm working on, please feel free to ask.
