World Malaria Day is tomorrow, April 25th, and one of our objectives as Peace Corps health volunteers is to assist with the eradication of this life-threatening disease. Although many gains have been made, malaria is still a major killer in many countries of sub-Saharan Africa.
Back in September I entered a photo essay to the Peace Corps' Stomping Out Malaria website. In commemoration of this day, they have posted it to their site!

Hopefully everyone can remember those who have been affected by this diseases and keep working for prevention.
