Mandy Moore joins Cameroon's fight against malaria with Nothing but Nets
Today I landed in Yaounde, Cameroon.
It's an incredible feeling - Cameroon is preparing for its largest ever mosquito net distribution. The nets will help protect hundreds of thousands of families from malaria, the leading cause of death in Cameroon, and I'm really glad to be playing a role in this historic campaign to save lives.
Over the next four days, I'll write about my experiences on the ground and share some of what I learn and a few stories about the people I meet and how malaria impacts the people of Cameroon.
Hello Mandy Moore,
If only you read this, i want you to know that if the world had people like you to look into the suffering of the less privilege then the world would be a better place.
Am a Cameroonian and also a very good fan of yours.I could never imagine that my number one star will one day visit my country. I feel your presence here even though am far from you.I just wish to say that you are welcome to my country and that may the Almighty God bless you and grant you a safe journey back. I pray that God rewards you abundantly for all the help you render to the less privilege.
Once more THANK YOU.

I applaud Ms. Moore for taking action in global health. For malaria and other diseases, simple interventions such as mosquito nets which we take for granted can be the start of eradication. This is a wonderful story that I have constantly been exposed to in recent days. I think I will also post about her efforts in Cameroon on my global health blog kyslife.com.
