Buzzing across the USA

Last month the United Nations Foundation’s Nothing But Nets Buzz tour stopped at JCI. The Buzz Tour rolls in a converted school bus powered by waste vegetable oil and solar panels. The bus went to cities across the U.S. to raise awareness for the insecticide treated bed nets used to prevent malaria in Africa. In 2008, JCI created JCI Nothing But Nets in partnership with the UN Foundation. Through JCI Nothing But Nets, members take action against malaria through education and fundraising in their communities. A bed net only costs $10 and can be the difference between life and death for many children.

Although we found the mosquito’s get-up quite funny, he was a good sport and posed for many pictures.
