5,000 Mosquito Nets from Learning Field
It all started with Melinda Doolittle, our favorite Idol, and the generosity of thousands of learning professionals.
At Learning 2007, we donated and collected over $50,000 to buy Mosquito Nets for the Malaria No More Project.
Cathy and Elliott Masie are seen here, along with Melinda and Scott Case, as this contribution was made.
But, this is just a beginning in the Learning Gives Back Project. The next step is our journey to Africa on December 10th, to be part of a massive distribution of Mosquito Nets and other health projects in the country of Mali.
We are honored to represent the Learning field on this mission and will be going with a range of other governmental officials and religious leaders. We will be meeting with the President of Mali and visiting villages where these nets will be distributed ... to save lives!
We encourage you to be part of this virtual trip with us. Follow-along on this blog, leave your comments and of course, we would love to have you contribute $10 or more, to buy a Mosquito Nets. Together, we can all make a difference!
