Nothing But Nets by Helaine Norman


I received a donation, in memory of my husband, to Nothing But Nets.
Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa. The Union for Reform Judaism joined this initiative in 2007 with the hope of providing 50,000 nets to save lives. It only costs $10 for a bed net to cover an entire family and save them from this terrible disease. What a nice way to do a mitzvah for so little money! I encourage you to make such a donation when you are looking for a donation to make. You can find out more about this by checking it out at http://urj.org/relief/nets/programs/ or donate by going to http://urj.org/relief/nets/.
