Athlethes Join Us in Mali for Net Distribution

Three wonderful professional sports professionals are in our small delegation here in Mali. We have been pleased to get to know these sports stars and social activists:

Diego Gutierrez, midfielder for Major League Soccer’s (MLS) Chicago Fire

Dwayne De Rosario, midfielder for MLS Houston Dynamo and MLS Cup 2007 MVP;

Ruth Riley, center for Women’s National Basketball Association’s San Antonio Silver Stars and two-time WNBA champion and Olympic Gold Medalist

Diego, Dwayne and Ruth have added a key element to this campaign..a connection to sports and youth. They have been engaged in all of our briefings and are an incredible spokespeople for the Malaria and Health Campaign.
