I gave £10 towards mosquito nets for a family and hope it might save some lives.
I was asked to do a project at school about what it is like to live in another country. I chose Ghana and while I was doing my project I saw the ITV Tonight programme about Ghana and the danger of getting malaria. I included a section in my project about malaria and Mozzy Man. I gave £10 towards mosquito nets for a family and hope it might save some lives.
