A teacher with a treated net

RUTH MUSA
Dear Melinda,

Ruth lives with her husband and two children in a single bedroom apartment with electricity, but no running water.  She and her children were not sleeping under a treated bed net, so they were more exposed to mosquito bites and malaria.

When she received the treated bed net she was so thrilled. She is a teacher in Sierra Leone and is excited that money she would normally need to treat malaria can now be diverted elsewhere.

Ruth extends her thanks to you Melinda for your protection in the form of a treated bed net!
