We wrote this song after we learnt how thousands of children are currently dying each day due to Malaria, and that this disease is easily preventable and treatable. However this tragedy is happening in the poorer parts of our world, and it's not something that even makes the news. We found out that many doctors actually volunteer to go into the areas where Malaria is a problem, even though this can place them at risk. For example often in these poorer countries, there are civil wars being fought, and medical aid isn't on the agenda of those doing the fighting. Doctors, nurses and other aid workers are often targets in these military situations. Sometimes also there is simply no infrastructure in place to allow for medical help, or Malaria has flared up in inaccessible regions without roads or other easy transportation. Our hearts go out to those suffering, and we truly admire the courage of those trying to help. This song is our small way of hoping we can spread the word that Malaria is out there, a silent killer of the innocent (especially children). If you could spare any time to Google Malaria Aid agencies, you might find there are small ways you too could help stop this killer disease - American Idol also highlighted the problem in their last season. THANKYOU for just watching and spreading the word. The photos in this filmclip came from a doctor we know who is one of those trying to make a difference.
