radioRebecca St James to raise awareness of the blight of malaria
CCM STAR Rebecca St
James is lending her influence to raise awareness of World Malaria
Day, to be observed on 25th April. Her efforts will include hosting an
April radio special, Malaria: A Plague Of The Poor, being presented by
Compassion International and spotlighting their frontline efforts
against the disease that kills more than 1 million people annually in
the world's poorest nations. Said Rebecca, "Most of those who die from
this treatable, preventable disease are children. Compassion assisted
children and their families receive the resources they so desperately
need to fight malaria including access to medical treatment, and
education on prevention."

This is the kind of thing that Malaria endemic countries need, this kind of support can go along way to saving a lot of lives. Already many people in Africa are saved by the efforts of Roll Back Malaria Partners, WHO, UNICEF, UNFPA, USAID, Nollywood Initiatives, and many others. If the rest of the world turns their back on developing nations , they will never get better and will infect the developed nations one way or another. For example malaria needs human cells to reproduce and these cells replicate so quickly and ones their is blood contact between either party........ Cheers to Rebecca St James for a worthy initiative. we hope that one day she would come over to Nigeria and feature in one of our Nollywood Movies!!
