Meningitis Outbreak and Your Help

Wow... I have been blown away in the last week by your generosity.  Thank you for helping us prevent more people from contracting meningitis. You have helped us raise awareness in the States to the need here. So thank you. If you haven't had a chance to be involved yet, then here is a link to help us vaccinate people. http://cmfi.org/wherewework/ivory-coast. The project is found on the right side under Urgent Need!

If you haven't heard we have lost 2 church members over the last 2 weeks to the disease. We have lost another 5 patients from our clinic. People who have HIV are more prone to contract the Meningitis and their chances of survival are pretty low due to their compromised immune system.  The crazy part is it only costs 3 dollars for us to vaccinate a person... What do you do with 3 bucks normally? I would buy coffee or a snack or a gallon of gas... but 3 bucks to save a life... WOW! Normally my 3 bucks done buy that much...
