Dear Developers,<br />
<br />
We have just uploaded an activity that teaches children about<br />
Malaria.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/search?q=malaria&cat=all" target="_blank">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/search?q=malaria&cat=all</a><br />
<br />
The Free From Malaria game tells the story of Paul, a boy who lives in a Malaria<br />
endemic country. Paul learns how mosquitoes are responsible for spreading the<br />
Plasmodium parasite which causes Malaria. He also learns how to recognize the<br />
symptoms it causes and to seek medical help if someone thinks they have the<br />
disease.<br />
<br />
The content consists of a comic story with two games that teaches children the<br />
importance of covering up at night-time and using bed nets. The goal is to help<br />
children recognize their role in the prevention of the disease and to create a<br />
future free from Malaria.<br />
<br />
The application is developed in PyGame using the olpcgames wrapper.We would be<br />
grateful for some beta testers and reviewers. I have tested it on an XO-1 but<br />
would be grateful for tests with other versions of Sugar etc.<br />
<br />
I haven't created a git repo yet but will be happy to do so as required.<br />
<br />
Thanks<br />
