Official response to the World Health Organisation vaccine announcement,

Lets make it a reality Governor General of Australia, Sir Peter Cosgrove says!!

Malaria is one of the killer diseases of the world. Queensland scientists want to deliberately infect people with malaria to prove they can beat it.

Appeal for Corporate and individual support to complete Malaria Vaccine Project

On behalf of the Malaria Vaccine Project Committee, I wish to express my sincere thanks to all supporters for your very generous and ongoing support of this Project.
 
Our goal is to raise sufficient funds to make that happen--in essence to start saving the lives of those 400,000 children who die from malaria every year. Thank you again for your beautiful gifts to this work and please continue to help us to reach our $2.5 million goal. WE ARE ALREADY HALF-WAY THERE and are hopeful that the corporate sector will join Rotary and Governments to make this possible.
 
 
GLOBAL GRANT SCHOLAR
I am setting up a Global Grant Malaria Postdoctoral Scholar Grant for an overseas scientist to work with Professor Michael Good and Dr Danielle Stanisic.
What an incredible opportunity for a young scientist especially as the field -deployable form reaches CLINICAL CHALLENGE TRIALS.
 
If any Rotary Club or Supporter would like your next Malaria Vaccine Project donation to go to this Global Grant Scholarship, make the donation through RAWCS in the usual way but just ADD in the section REQUESTS TO THE PROJECT MANAGER: MALARIA POSTDOCTORAL SCHOLAR.
That will alert me to direct it to the Global Grant.  Thank you for considering this.
 
If any Rotary District would like to contribute DDF to this Global Grant, please contact me directly:
