Chevron Donates Mosquito Nets in Angola

For more, visit: http://www.chevron.com/countries/angola/inthecommunity/ . Chevron donated 1,500 mosquito nets to two hospitals in Luanda, Angola, to help prevent the spread of malaria. Executive Vice President of Policy and Planning Rhonda Zygocki presented the nets to birthing centers at Lucrecia Paim and Augusto Ngangula hospitals. The donation is rooted in the belief that healthy communities produce healthy employees, who in turn lead to improved economic circumstances in the places where we work.

Since January 2008, Chevron has contributed $30 million to The Global Fund, a public-private partnership created in 2002 to finance programs that fight AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria. Together, we have supported awareness, prevention, testing and treatment programs in Angola, Indonesia, Nigeria, the Philippines, South Africa and Thailand.

"These donations strengthen past and current initiatives with the two largest hospitals in Angola," said Eunice de Carvalho of Chevron in Angola. "Chevron also works with these hospitals on the deployment of the first program of diagnosis and treatment of sickle cell disease in Angola, a project valued at US$4 million and totally funded by Chevron."

Don't me wrong on the topic being presented, it's great. However, with a big name sponsor like Chevron and giving it a sponsored spot on youtube, I would think you could hire someone to do decent quality video work. I'm a first year video student and I would fail an assignment if I turned in something like that. If you need someone, please give me a call.
