Putting a Face on Malaria

Through the years His Nets has touched more than half a million lives.  Numbers however cannot tell the entire story.  Just a week ago I was in Ghana with a team to distribute nets east of Lake Volta, near the Togo border.  2,000 nets were given out in small towns & villages and in a school & a hospital.  It was at that hospital on our last day of distribution that the work of His Nets gained a new face and a name.  

Rev. Timothy Wilson of the Ghana Baptist Convention had arranged the distributions and accompanied us to each site.  As the week ended, he took our 8 person team to visit the pediatric ward of the local hospital.  The head nurse told us that over 80% of the small patients were there because of malaria. 

To our surprise we recognized one little boy in the ward!  His was Onesimus Wilson, the youngest son of our local coordinator!  He had gone to the hospital with a high fever due to a malaria attack!  His family had only just received an insecticide treated mosquito net from His Nets, but not before Onesimus contracted malaria. 

Happily we were able to purchase the medicine that “Oni” needed and he was feeling much better before we left.  Statistics such as 10,000 people a day dying of malaria or one child every 30 seconds are just that:  statistics.  When it is someone you know, like Onesimus Wilson, then the fight against malaria becomes real.   It becomes personal! 

Thank you for supporting His Nets and helping to save the lives of tens of thousands like Onesimus Wilson!
