Getting the Word Out in Senegal!

Malaria No More is arrived in Kaolack, Senegal yesterday to help distribute mosquito nets as part of the mass distribution of nets to all children under 5 across the country.

We also found out that Youssou’s message is definitely getting out! We’re hearing “Xeex Sibbiru” all over the place…and when I walked up to a group of kids playing soccer, they saw me wearing my Youssou Ndour t-shirt and immediately started singing the song!

Soo beggee mucc/Ci sibbiru bi/Yaak say doom/Sanke bun nandal/Moom ngay fanaanoo
If you want to be safe/from malaria/you and your children/must sleep under/a treated mosquito net

Get into the groove and listen to the song here!
