Every thirty seconds, a child in Africa dies of Malaria. That means that by the time you've finished reading this announcement, two children will have died from a completely preventable disease. You have the power to help save lives. Simple ten-dollar bed nets can protect children's lives by keeping malaria-carrying mosquitoes out.

I've been working with a youth-driven nonprofit called Americans for Informed Democracy and we want YP4 fellows to raise awareness and funds to support the global fight against malaria. And we want you to film what you do. Our contest is called Buzz Cuts and it strives to harness the power of media and student creativity to save lives. Buzz Cuts is looking for your creative proposals for a "net-raising" event that will help raise money for the NothingButNets.nets campaign and build awareness about the global fight against malaria.

AID will send out video cameras and $500 mini-grants to the best campaign and film proposals. The films that are made will be distributed so that others can use your campaign strategies in their communities. Sign up now and start saving lives one film at a time.
