There
have been various activities going on as part of Malaria Week and in
support of World Malaria Day on 25th April. In Cameroon, work was
carried out to 
raise awareness and mosquito nets were distributed to
people in need. These nets are vital as they protect for up to four
years against the fatal sting of the female anopheles mosquito. Aside
from this, Hope Foundation director Gerald Bobga Fonkenmun signed a
partnership with the Ministry of Health in Bertoua, which ensures
that there will be more health projects in Cameroon coming in the
future.
As
part of our Malaria Week activities, we also held our fourth annual
Malarathon. This year, the charity run took place on Sunday 26th
April at the Tempelhofer Feld in Berlin. Approximately 140
participants could choose a distance of three, five or ten
kilometers. Each participant donated 10 Euros in form of a
participation fee, which pays for one mosquito net! Before the
runners took off, around fifteen children ran the 500 meter so-called
Ba
mbini run. The charity run lasted for around 66 minutes, and
afterwards everyone received their well-earned medal from Hope
Foundation director Gerald Bobga Fonkenmun. The shining sun, the
feeling of doing something good and the motivation and good mood of
all participants really made this an enjoyable Sunday! We collected a
total of 970 Euros at this year's Malarathon, which makes 97 mosquito
nets! Information about malaria was also offered, helping us to raise
awareness. We want to thank everyone for their participation. We are
already looking forward to next year's Malarathon, hopefully with
even more participants - more runners means more mosquito nets for
people in Cameroon!
