Dear Bill,

Thank you so much for your mail. It’s exciting to be part of this global network working against malaria.

EM-BR means End Malaria Blue Ribbon, hope this answer your question.

Its also nice to hear about your work and thoughts of your dedicated students leaders in SLAM Blog, i think we can put this email on the Educational Network Blog, so that others can share in our conversation. This could also be an avenue for both leaders and students to share their views.

We would continue to learn from each others project, while you and your students would know the best way to help our student leaders because they are from malaria endemic region, this could be through sharing their ideas on malaria and other diseases.

Finally, during our 1st workshop we told the students about the global SLAM network, which they show their eagerness to share their ideas with other colleagues and get to know each other. Unfortunately for us as the technology advance, our schools are little bit left behind.

They lack ICT facilities as such access to internet is a little bit difficult for them. Lets together with you and MFI be looking for a way to improvise in order to have our Nigerian SLAM network laudable. (as i told Dr. Mary in my last email)

Great to hear from you and hope that we can work in partnership to end Malaria.

With best regards,



Muhammad Umar
