Social Equity in Africa

One of my big things that I'm interested in is awareness and political pressure for aid to Africa. Very recently President Bush and Tony Blair and the G8 nations agreed on complete debt relief for many of the world's poorest countries. I believe there is still a massive amount of work to be done for Africa. 6,500 people a day die of preventable causes; 1 million die a year because they can't afford mosquito nets to prevent the spread of malaria. This is preventable. I extremely encourage all individuals to view the following links to educate themselves (most importantly sign the petition at the first link):
