A new charity

The link above is to a Boston Globe story about 2 St. Louis University Medical School students who are distributing treated mosquito nets in Africa. There are apparently several organizations that do this, but these guys have no overhead, since they travel to Africa on their own dime, and bicycle around the countryside (where one worked 2 years as a Peace Corps volunteer and learned the language), distributing nets to villages. Read the interesting article, and then go to their organization, Netlife (here is the link printed out: http://www.netlifeafrica.org) to donate.
