Bed Net Beckham’s L.A. Debut
July 21, 2007
Malaria No More spokesman David Beckham made his public debut with the L.A. Galaxy this evening, where he was wildly cheered for tying his shoelaces–and for playing soccer for 15 glorious minutes (in spite of a nasty ankle injury).
Malaria No More’s goal is is to end deaths caused by malaria, which claims more than a million lives a year and is the #1 killer of kids under 5 in sub-Saharan Africa. Find out how to bed net it like Becks and help at www.malarianomore.org.

#1 Cause of Preventable Blindness
June 3, 2007
“Nobody need suffer a life of misery, pain, eventual blindness, and early death from their trachoma. We have for trachoma a strategy that works, and we’ve applied it successfully in southern Sudan–which is the most difficult place to work in the world–and made it work.”
–Dr. Paul Emerson, director of the Carter Center’s Trachoma Control Program, from Laura Svienty’s “Into Africa” piece on the Carter Center’s fight against controllable blindness
