Celebration of Found Coins: Nothing But Nets Anti-Malaria Campaign
Daylight Saving Time returns at 2:00 AM on Sunday, March 11, 2007. Don’t forget to turn your clocks and watches ahead one hour before you go to sleep Saturday evening, or you will arrive an hour late for Worship and Sunday School on Sunday morning. You may also consider changing the batteries in your residential smoke and carbon dioxide detectors at this time, as recommended by safety personnel.
Nothing But Nets
Anti-Malaria Campaign
March Celebration of Found Coins
Every 30 seconds, a child in Africa dies of malaria. Malaria kills more than a million kids every year. Now, if you knew that by contributing just $10 (ten dollars), you could save the life of one of those children…and perhaps that child’s whole family…would you consider sharing that much?
Well, that’s what our Mission Committee is asking all of us to do during our Celebration of Found Coins in the month of March, as we join with millions of other United Methodists who are working to stamp out malaria, one community at a time through the “Nothing But Nets” campaign. The money raised through this campaign will be used to purchase bed nets that will be distributed throughout the countries and communities in greatest need.
A $10 bed net can protect a family of four for up to four years, reducing the incidence of nocturnal mosquito bites—the primary means of transmitting the disease. Malaria infects more than 500 million people each year, and more than a million die from the disease, yet fewer than 5 percent of African children sleep under a mosquito net, according to the campaign.
While our Mission Committee will be sharing more information about the Nothing But Nets campaign with you during the month of March, you can learn much more right now by going to umc.org on the Internet and clicking on the “NothingButNets.net” link on the left, or to http://www.nothingbutnets.net/.
You can save a family. Our church can possibly save a village. And we can also help spread the word to many others beyond Centenary about the Nothing But Nets campaign, and how easy it is to protect children from malaria with a $10 insecticide-treated bed net. Together, let’s join with millions of folk to cover Africa with life-saving bed nets!
