Memo to Students, Teachers and Faculty

September 9, 2010

Hello students, teachers and faculty from across Canada.

Welcome back! It’s that time of year again! Since 2004, volunteer citizens like you and me have made a commitment to save lives from malaria. Students should be very proud to know they have raised money to protect thousands of families in Africa from this deadly disease. Thank you so much for your ongoing support!

We are very excited to announce the launch of the Beading Up Malaria initiative to help you in your fundraising efforts! In partnership with BeadforLife (www.beadforlife.org), beads are an excellent way to raise funds for nets and anti-malaria medicine.

Everyone loves beads, and these are very special beads. They are made by African women out of recycled paper. Buy-A-Net purchases the beads from BeadforLife, and through resale to you, Buy-A-Net uses the proceeds to buy bed nets and anti-malaria medicines.

Not only will you help to save lives from malaria, but you will help to end poverty by creating sustainable employment for African women, and help to protect the environment, too!

Please contact our office at 1(613)542-1264 to receive your fundraising kit and/or beads, or look through the website for more information.

Sincerely,

Debra Lefebvre and
The Buy-A-Net Team

We are overjoyed with your commitment and passion to help save lives from malaria. Shirley met Dr. Nkundeki of Uganda during one of his visits to Canada; she heard firsthand how her efforts have helped the women and children in Uganda. Thank you again, Shirley.
