World Malaria Day on Facebook and MySpace
As part of its virtual campaign to celebrate the first World Malaria Day on April 25th, Malaria Consortium has created a World Malaria Day Facebook page and MySpace Profile for people to engage with. It is hoped that through these two social networks people will be able to show their support for this day and access various initiatives such as the World Malaria Day button. The Links and instructions are as follows:
World Malaria Day on MySpace – joining this group as a friend enables you to comment on the profile, view pictures and subscribe to blog entries. You can also download the World Malaria Button onto your own MySpace profile in a show of support, using the html code provided at www.mobilising4malaria.org/get_button.php?lang=en
