       So since my return to the states last December, which was the biggest culture shock of all, I have been doing some research on getting involved in some volunteer work.  Having spent a year and a half cycling through 25 countries on this continent, I felt Africa would be a great start. So now I will be working alongside the IMA World Health team as they distribute over 700,000 mosquito bed nets in eight health zones here in the DRC. This involves much more than your standard net campaign in that the nets will be hung up for each house and tracked by GPS to provide data for transparency and accountability. IMA and Against Malaria Foundation (AMF) both provide a high level of transparency which is important for donors. I encourage all to view the IMA and AMF websites.
