Affect the World Forever

Robin Ball is Co-Chair of the Steering Committee for Imagine No Malaria in the Rocky Mountain Conference, and also Chair of the Conference Board of Global Ministries. She recently shared some thoughts on her experience going to Angola in 2012 to distribute bed nets, and her enthusiasm for the opportunity that Imagine No Malaria represents:


She ends with:

"It's so exciting that we might actually be able to eliminate a killer, something that affects so many women and children in the world... and it keeps families in poverty. And we really have the opportunity now to eliminate that. So take this opportunity right now, where science is coming together with the political situation, and we have the awareness, and we can raise the money, and really affect the world forever."

It's true - the resources that are available currently make elimination of deaths from malaria possible in our lifetime, something that could quickly slip out of reach if we do not follow through on the massive and comprehensive efforts needed to win a sustainable victory over this disease of poverty. We'll have another video on why that's true from a scientific perspective next week!
