A child dies every 30 seconds in Sub-Saharan Africa. From what you might ask? Mosquitoes carrying deadly Malaria. Many get infected after being bitten during their sleep at night. In 2006, the people of the United Methodist Church joined forces with others, including the National Soccer League, to raise awareness in an effort, in a practical way, to fight Malaria in Africa. In part the answer was simple, just $10 to purchase mosquito netting, a bed may be covered and a life saved. During the six-week Salida Soccer season, members of the United Methodist Church of Salida will be attending soccer games to help in this worthy cause. They will be answering questions and handing out self-return envelopes to those attending the games from September 11th through October 9th. Look for volunteers from the Methodist Church in red shirts and they will be happy to answer any of your questions and provide the envelope. If you don’t attend soccer games don’t worry, you can help too, just stop by the Methodist Church on 4th and D streets, pick up your envelope or to drop off your donation. Remember, your $10 donation to Nothing But Nets goes directly toward the purchase, distribution, and education on use of an insecticide-treated bed nets. For more information contact the Methodist Church at 539-2755 or check out their website at www.salidaumc.org.
