Tee Shirts Save Lives

You have a disease caused by a parasite. 10-15 days after you're infected, you begin to feel feverish; you have headaches, you vomit. The parasites have developed resistance to a number of medicines, and if not treated the disease will disrupt the blood supply to your vital organs. You can die from this, easily. You and 655, 000 other people in 2010 alone. If you survive, you're one of the lucky ones.  

The disease is called malaria.



And we can prevent it.



For the next three days (and 23 hours, 48 minutes, and 03 seconds) Sevenly.org will be selling an awesome shirt (men's and women's, in a variety of styles) for $22-$27, with $7 of every purchase going to buy an insecticide-treated mosquito net that will be hung over the bed of a child in Rwanda to protect her from deadly malaria-causing insects.


You could go to www.Compassion.com and give directly to the cause of fighting malaria, but this way you get an awesome shirt to help spread the word! The perfect solution is to follow this link to sponsor a child from Rwanda and you'll get one of these shirts for free. Sponsoring a child is an awesome way to share the love of Christ with someone who desperately needs it. 




BITE BACK and save a child's life. I did.
