Students Collaborate to Fight Malaria in Botswana

The Tsao Village will be the site for the 3rd annual Malaria Eradication Campaign conducted by the Gaborone Secondary School (GSS) and the Alexander Dawson School (ADS). The first campaign was in the village of Gumare in the Okavango Delta region and last year was Lesoma village in the Chobe region of Botswana. Tsao is also in the Okavango region where the incidence of malaria is very high and most people cannot afford the cost of a mosquito net for their beds.

Malaria is a disease that can be prevented with education, nets and medicine. The students from GSS and ADS, along with their teachers Tommie Hamaluba and Bill Meyers, will distribute nets and discuss methods to prevent this terrible disease as they go house to house through the village.

We hope that you will follow the campaign postings on this blog and participate with us by adding your comments.
