In 2006, bishops and basketball players from the NBA and the United Methodist Church teamed up with the UN Foundation as the founding partners of the Nothing But Nets campaign. Now, more than five years later, this partnership is stronger than ever.

Here in the United States, fathers everywhere are their kids’ #1 fans, cheering them on throughout their lives.

Giving back for me started when I was planning my seventh birthday party. The tsunami in the Indian Ocean struck on my birthday that year, December 26th, 2004.

Working for Nothing But Nets and the UN Foundation, I’m often asked how close we are to reaching the global goal of ending malaria deaths by 2015. Our team is asked questions like these a lot – on Facebook and Twitter and via email, phone calls, and letters – and we love it.

For years, scientists have been searching for a way to stop malaria-carrying mosquitoes in their tracks. While bed nets remain the most effective tool for protecting families from being bitten by the nocturnal mosquitoes, new technology is looking to cut the risk by trapping and killing the mosquitoes before they hit the net.

Yesterday (July 31) was African Women’s Day. The world celebrated the millions of women in Africa who are making a difference in their homes, their communities, and their world.

The Nothing But Nets team has been traveling throughout the country over the past two weeks, including New York City (twice!), Philadelphia, San Francisco and Atlanta. While all of these trips have involved great visits with partners, Champions, and supporters, our trip to Atlanta was a very special experience because of the amazing members of long-time Nothing But Nets partner Usher’s New Look Foundation (and because we got to meet Usher!).

Over the next four days, I’ll write about my experiences on the ground and share some of what I learn and a few stories about the people I meet and how malaria impacts the people of Cameroon.
