Upcoming Missions

Shack City: The Shack City organizers had to change the date and time of Shack City. Unfortunately, the new date doesn’t work with your schedule. Stay tuned for the next upcoming mission.

Play a Video Game – Fight Malaria: World Malaria Day is April 25. Now and throughout April, there’s an easy new way to help eliminate malaria deaths in Africa and raise more money for nets through the Nothing But Nets malaria prevention campaign. Malaria is a serious and often fatal disease transmitted by mosquitoes. The World Health Organization estimates that 300-500 million cases of malaria occur each year.

Nothing But Nets has just launched a new online interactive game called “Deliver the Net” that makes it possible to send a net and save a life right from your keyboard. The game teaches users about bed net distribution and challenges individuals to deliver as many virtual nets as possible before the sun goes down and malaria-carrying mosquitoes come out to bite. From now until the end of the month, each time someone plays the game and signs up at www.NothingButNets.net, generous sponsors will donate $10 for a lifesaving insecticide-treated net.
