buy a book. save a life.
Seven months ago I introduced our community to a book that means the world to me. The book is End Malaria: Bold Innovation, Limitless Generosity, and the Opportunity to Save a Life.
As I said in my original post, I'm a social worker and an activist - I wouldn't say, "Buy a book. Save a life." unless I believed we could literally save lives.
I'm part of END MALARIA because I believe in it.
Every 45 seconds a child dies from malaria and it's very easy to fix - it's a matter of will. Are we willing to do it? Our goal is to end malaria in Africa by 2015. I think it's possible.
Here's the bottom line:
I'm one of 62 contributors who were asked to write a short piece about the topic of Great Work – how to do more of the stuff that matters and less of all the other stuff that fills up your day.
The book costs $25 and $20 is going directly the cause - that’s 100% of the Kindle price, and 80% of the hard copy. The remaining $5 covers production costs.
None of the contributors or the publishing house are taking any money from sales. Amazon makes NO profit.
$20 buys two nets. We've raised $300,000 so far and we're moving closer to our 2015 goal!
The book is only available through amazon.com.
End Malaria is edited by the awesome Michael Bungay Stanier and published by Seth Godin’s publishing house, The Domino Project.
I'm proud to be part of this and I want to invite you to be a part of making malaria history! Buy a book or 20. The essays are powerful and inspiring. It's a wholehearted WIN!
