Spreading the net

[velvetpage]

I have a new charity to support. It's at www.spreadthenet.org, and its goal is to buy insecticide-treated mosquito nets for kids' beds in Africa. One net costs ten bucks Canadian, and protects two or three kids; it's the best possible way of preventing malaria in Africa.

Ten bucks, one or two kids who will grow up - and hopefully not fall prey to any of the other life-snatchers stalking their continent. But it's a start.
