As I walked into Brown Elementary School last week in San Antonio, TX, I first noticed three mini portable basketball hoops in the hallway. The hoops held donations from Brown students and their families, and had nets tied to their bases to ensure that the donations were kept safely.

After raising money to purchase kites for village children in Afghanistan last year, the Model United Nations group at Lower Richland High School in Hopkins, SC, decided to collect money this year for mosquito nets to help prevent the spread of malaria and the deaths of children in parts of Africa.

There was a whole new kind of buzz at RFK Stadium in Washington, D.C. last week during the MLS Cup, as Major League Soccer and Nothing But Nets teamed up once again to spread the word about malaria prevention!

About a year ago, my dad showed me an article in Sports Illustrated. The title was “Nothing but Nets,” so naturally I assumed it would be an article about basketball.

As a Buzzcuts finalist, I recently completed phase one of my three part “Bite Back” malaria awareness campaign at West Virginia University.

Greetings once again Nothing But Nets supporters! Below is the second video clip from my recent trip to southern and eastern Chad, where the 40,000 nets you purchased during a four week emergency appeal were distributed. This video highlights the net distribution process that ensures the appropriate use of these nets.

We have officially arrived in Mali, and it was a lovely trip. We started the day meeting with some personnel from Mali’s Ministry of Health. We have learned how massive and important this campaign really is.

 A delegation hosted by the United Nations Foundation has arrived in Mali, Africa, to represent Nothing But Nets and the Measles Initiative.

We are not yet into our descent into Bamako, capital of Mali, and we have been flying over an uninterrupted gently undulating golden carpet for the past 45 minutes. As we begin our descent, the featureless monotonic vastness gives way to a blotchy canvas of white and gray.

Today is officially my first day in Mali and I have been attending briefings from 9:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. to learn more about Mali’s largest ever integrated health campaign.
