As always Paul, it is my pleasure to work with you and to help those less fortunate than I am. There are no mosquitos here!!! No malaria!!!! I will sleep better tonight knowing that I have helped to save 60 of my brothers and sisters from Malaria. I wish there were more big hearts with purses much larger than mine - and we could end malaria tomorrow.

Thank you for your concern!

Today, I learned about this NGO whose work is distributing nets.

Looks very promising, ken. I am passing the info onto Rick Ellis from Canada who will be living in Kameke for about a year. Perhaps he can get an idea of how many pregnant women and young children need the nets in the surrounding villages to ask for a large shipment, which might actually work better than just 6o or 100 - we'll see.

Hi Ken,
This is great if we could get these mosquito nets do they deliver to the beneficiaries?
If no then it might be like the previous years people got mosquito nets but failed to transport them to Uganda. What Virginia's idea was to try and help the few she can to reverse the death toll than waiting for the big consignment which would take years in 2008 Mary got information from Uganda that there was a donation of mosquito nets in Uganda of about 17,000,000 nets but till now we have never got them. http://www.nabuur.com/en/village/jinja-central/project/task/arrange-ship... so if we can help where we can i think it can work than waiting for a big consignment. In Mawoito it was a miracle to get mosquito nets people never believed what they saw, in Jinja even the political people couldn't believe and even the District Community Development officer commented about the heart of people who can sacrifice of the little they have to help the needy, so what i would request if there is a way we can get them it needs team work with your support to any local village to get these mosquito nets.

Paul - i have asked Simon Peter and Rick to see if they would be able to First - contact the agency in Kampala to see if there are currently any nets available and Two - what is the approach to get them.
When I hear from them - I will post it-

Paul, I am sorry to say I have heard no follow through from Simon Peter calling the Kampala office - unfortunately, when I send info/message/requests out to villagers, I don't always know where to find the source again. I think it was the place in Kampala that Ken mentioned, but I can't easily access the info. Perhaps you could call Simon Peter and ask him if he has/has lost the number and if he has called and what is the info. Thanks Paul. I wish I could make these calls myself, but it's very hard with the time difference- and sending emails does not seem to be as effective. I believe Emmanuel in Wakitakk also has the info as I knew he is in school in Kampala.
