Saving lives at Brown Elementary School

As I walked into Brown Elementary School last week in San Antonio, TX, I first noticed three mini portable basketball hoops in the hallway. The hoops held donations from Brown students and their families, and had nets tied to their bases to ensure that the donations were kept safely.

The students at Brown have been studying about Africa, malaria, and Nothing But Nets throughout the fall. They have been working hard to raise money for the Campaign, and the students are extremely enthusiastic about saving lives of children living an ocean away! Many of them told me that when their parents tuck them in at night, they are happy to think that with their $10 donation, a child in Africa will also be tucked in to sleep safely under a bed net!
