Saturday was World Malaria Day. I saw this poster at the gas station in town; the only advertising I'd seen of the day.

Almost a million people die from malaria each year, and in Africa one in five childhood deaths is due to the effects of malaria. For more, here's a link to the Global Malaria Action Plan site.
