We had a great launch with MalariaEngage (malariaengage.zazengo.com) on Zazengo last week for World Malaria Day.

Here are some links to articles about the initiative:

Tom Hadfield and I met with Ray Chambers. The Secretary General of the United Nations appointed Ray as the Special Envoy for Malaria. They announced recently a plan to cover all 600 million people at risk in Africa with nets and make the right medication available to them.

MalariaEngage is planning on rolling out their efforts to include more research partners and to grow the field of awareness and support.
