Hey Emily.
ReplyDeleteIt seems to me as if the true solution to Malaria is awareness! Just the knowledge of knowing to close windows and doors at night could protect people from becoming infected! And this knowledge does not even cost a thing! Therefore, through the efforts of governments, NGO's and communities raising awareness and educating people, hopefully Africa's devastating problem of Malaria will cease to exist in the next couple decades!
