World Malaria Day, Wednesday, April 25:   Did you know that a child dies from malaria every 45 seconds?  Instituted by the World Health Organization, World Malaria Day is a time for recognizing the global effort to provide effective control of malaria.  In 2010, about 3.3 billion people - almost half of the world's population - were at risk of malaria.  Every year, this leads to about 216 million malaria cases and an estimated 655,000 deaths.  Help Lutheran Campus Ministries raise awareness and funds to prevent malaria through the ELCA Malaria Campaign.  Contact me for more information.
