LEARNING TO FIGHT MALARIA
By Musa Barrow
Statistics have shown that malaria kills millions of children in Sub-Saharan Africa every year, and the vast majority of deaths could have been prevented if the necessary information was disseminated.
It is against this background that Aid for Orphans and the Disabled (AFOD), a non-political and charitable organisation, on Saturday 13th May 2006, embarked on a two-day training workshop for its members at Sunrise Nursery School in Bundung Borehole.
In his opening remarks, the Chief Executive of Aid for Orphans and the Disabled, Mr. Lamin Fofana, said the objectives of the two-day training are to equip their members with the requisite knowledge for the battle against malaria and to use the training as a spring board to get the wider community on board. Mr. Fofana also used the occasion to applaud Catholic Relief Services (CRS) for providing the necessary financial assistance, which they used to organise the workshop.
Speaking on the gigantic achievements of AFOD since its formation two years back, the Chief Executive said through assistance rendered to his organisation by philanthropists and institutions, and also through contributions from its members, AFOD has been able to embark on public awareness campaigns and capacity building programmes. According to him, currently his organisation is sponsoring ten students who are attending senior secondary schools.
