April 25 ANZAC Day in Australia is World Malaria Day. See what Anglican Aid is doing in Africa to reduce malaria's impacts on children in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Amazing how such a small creature can kill so many. In 1980 I carried the dead body of a child in a refugee camp to the mortuary. She died of falciparum malaria. OK and recovering in the morning. Dead six hours later. Still a big killer in Africa of children

My Life has Changed

I started working in February for Anglican Aid http://anglicanaid.org.au/ a faith based organisation which has international development projects in Africa and Asia. I was employed as Office Manager but I have many and varied duties which include all aspects of looking after the office as well as responsibility for African projects.I have been impressed by the quality of work done in Africa through our partners in Uganda, Kenya, Tanzania, Egypt, Ethiopia and South Sudan. A little money from Australia goes a long way in Africa and is transforming communities where we work.

Hard to believe that less than two months ago I was driving to work and home in a job which was effectively subsidised by the taxpayers of NSW. This job seeks to encourage and engage donors and our projects are reliant on being able to do that. My boss is in the last week of a four week, 2,500km cycle ride "Smashing Cycles of Poverty" tour raising awareness on global injustice.

Is this the best job I have ever had? I really think it is!
