This morning, I visited the Chantal Biya Foundation, a health clinic in Cameroon’s capital city of Yaounde. There I talked to the doctors and community health workers, who told me that they see dozens of cases of malaria each day – cases like Nouriatou, a little girl I met who was undergoing treatment at Chantal Biya.

I’m half way across the world, and today I am reminded of one of the many things that connects us. It’s the hope that a parent in LA or DC or Yaounde has: that their child will have a better life than they do.

Recently, a new study was released focused on malaria and insecticide-treated bed nets. Based on observations in a small village in Senegal, the study suggests that mosquitoes are developing resistance to the insect-killing chemical that coats the nets.

If anyone understands mosquitoes and summer heat, it’s Texans like me. As summer comes to a close, many of us here in the United States are counting (and complaining about) our many mosquito bites. But what many Americans don’t realize is that in countries like Cameroon, a mosquito bite isn’t just itchy — it’s potentially deadly.

On Monday, the Nothing But Nets team kicked off our Dallas city tour by recognizing our partner Boy Scouts of America and one very special Boy Scout in particular, 13-year-old Nate Stafford.

A few weeks ago, the Cottontail Cobias Swim Team of Springfield, Virginia swam laps to save lives. The Cobias hosted their second annual swimathon for Nothing But Nets, an event everyone is eager to participate in.

On August 20, Dr. Esther Tallah, the head of the Cameroon Coalition Against Malaria, and I set out for Mfou, 25 kilometers outside of Yaounde, to be part of the country’s largest ever bed net distribution to deliver almost 9 million long-lasting insecticide-treated nets, many of which Nothing But Nets supporters helped send.

At the beginning of the month, Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Tennell Atkins and the City of Dallas proclaimed the first week in September as Nothing But Nets Week in Dallas!

For 3.3 billion people around the world, malaria is more than a historical reference. It is a daily reality that kills one child every 45 seconds in sub-Saharan Africa.

Today, I’m on my way to the Horn of Africa. Over the past few months, it seems all eyes have turned toward this region, where the worst drought in decades has led to widespread famine — forcing hundreds of thousands of families to leave their homes and move into refugee camps for basic necessities like food, water, and shelter.
