Serendipity Deals Joins the “Race” to End Malaria
The weather is getting warmer here in the United States. You know what that brings in most locations? Mosquitoes.
However in the United States the most you have to worry about is being itchy and having a few bumps. Consider yourself lucky. 40% of the world suffers from malaria caused by mosquito bites. Worldwide, malaria causes around 350 to 500 million illnesses and more than one million deaths annually. Malaria is particularly devastating in Africa, where it kills an African child every 30 seconds. Many children who survive an episode of severe malaria may suffer from learning impairments or brain damage. Pregnant women and their unborn children are also particularly vulnerable to malaria, which, during pregnancy, is a major cause of mortality, low birth weight and maternal anemia.
However there is hope.
Long-lasting insecticide-treated mosquito nets (LLINs) work by creating a protective barrier against mosquitoes at night, when the vast majority of transmissions occur. The African malaria mosquitoes generally bite late at night or early morning, between 10pm and 4am. Most mosquito nets can accommodate more than one person – a mother and an infant or a few siblings – for up to three to five years. A net treated with special insecticides offers about twice the protection of an untreated net, and through its repellency, can even protect other people in the room outside the net. When enough people (about 70 percent) sleep under LLINs, entire communities, even houses without an LLIN, can be made safer.
We at Serendipity Deals have decided to step in as a small company and try and help fight this disease and stop it from killing innocent children and families. We’ve decided to join the “race” with one of our best selling product lines. With each purchase of an “Ultra Series” RC Car from today April 22nd 2009 until August 31st 2009 we will donate a mosquito net to help with this cause. We’ve spent the last few days adding in all the highest end remote control cars that are available to us from the manufacturer, and then giving them a $70.00 discount as a special way of saying “Thank You” to our customers. Now with each purchase you can know that not only are you getting a great car, but you’re helping to save a life.
