Wesley and Crescent Heights UMCs hosted a fund raiser for the Nothing But Nets campaign.
Nothing But Nets is a grassroots campaign to save lives by preventing malaria, a leading killer of children in Africa, by
providing bed nets purchased for $10 each.
Bed nets work in two ways. They stop mosquitoes from biting during the night and spreading the
disease, and the insecticide on the net kill the mosquitoes when they land on it, stopping them from flying on to find their
next victim. Bed nets can prevent malaria transmission by 50 percent.
To date, over 1,993,000 nets have been purchased.
The Children's Crisis Prevention Network's Dogs Against Drugs program paid a visit to Wesley UMC.
The program emphasized Family Communication. Members of Wesley attended, as well as members of Frankston First UMC and
other visitors. The program was such a success, a follow-up program will be presented soon.
