I don&#8217;t have that kind of readership here, but I think it&#8217;s a great cause and I&#8217;d like to do my little part to spread the word. Remember, this is a one-time donation, not a long-term commitment.<\/p>\n<p>So here\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s how you can help.<\/p>\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.compassion.com\/contribution\/giving\/bite-back.htm\">here<\/a> to donate $10 that will provide a mosquito net for a child (you can donate more than that if you feel led). Each net lasts three years, so for $3.33 a year &#8211; less than a penny a day &#8211; you can save a child\u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u201e\u00a2s life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Today, April 25, is World Malaria Day.
