Dear Muhammad Umar,

Thank you very much for writing. First let me ask you to please call me Bill as I consider us to be friends and colleagues in our work with students to fight malaria. It is wonderful to see what you are doing in your country. I hope to learn from you to see how my students can help. What will your students do during your campaign? I am not familiar with the EM-BR that you refer to. Will you please explain this?

Do your students have access to computers? It would be nice if our students could communicate with each other and share ideas. They could use the SLAM Blog and email.

What do you think about us putting this email on the Educational Network Blog ( http://mfiednet.blogspot.com/) so that others can share in our conversation?

I look forward to seeing your pictures on the MFI website and working with you and your students.

All the best,
Bill
