August is "Imagine No Malaria" Month
|
As the Mosquitoes emerge in our own summer gardens, we are reminded of those who live with the constant threat of Malaria. That's why MUMC holds its Imagine No Malaria campaign this month.
Since 2010, the people of The United Methodist Church through its Imagine No Malaria initiative have focused on reducing malaria deaths in Sub-Saharan Africa. MUMC has been involved in this effort to "End Malaria in our Lifetime," for several years, and our contribution is making a difference. Measures funded through the efforts of Imagine No Malaria have included education, mosquito nets, and medication. These have saved 7 million lives and prevented 1 billion cases. Let's keep up the campaign against Malaria. Look for the crib with the doll and the Mosquitoes caught on the net in the Narthex starting on August 5th. Kill a Mosquito by removing it from the net and placing your donation in the envelop on the table next to the crib. Join us in making the "End of Malaria" a reality. |
