    <title>Buy-A-Net, Save a Life</title>
    <link>http://community.starbucks.com/groups/buy-a-net-save-a-life/blog</link>
    <description>In partnership with the Buy-A-Net Malaria Prevention Group, and Kingston Oxford Learning, all stores in district 273 will be hanging local childrens' art throughout the month of April, to raise awareness for malaria prevention in Uganda, Africa. &#xD;
&#xD;
At the end of the month, on Sunday, May 1st from 12-3, the Kingston Starbucks Chapters location will be hosting a fun-filled silent auction event of all the beautiful paintings. Local talented partners will be donating their time through playing live music, face painting for the kids, and hosting a Starbucks coffee and pastry table, all to draw in donations towards buying malaria preventing mosquito bed nets. &#xD;
&#xD;
Buy-A-Net was created by a local Kingston, ON nurse, Debra Lefebvre. In 2004, Debra travelled to Uganda and experienced first hand the terrible sickness of malaria in the local children. &#xD;
&#xD;
A donation of just $7.00 buys a mosquito bed net, which protects families against possible malaria carrying mosquitoes while they sleep.</description>

A HUGE thank you to those partners who helped make it a hit - to Amber, Simon, &amp;amp; Victoria for creating some great musical entertainment at the event, and to Amber as well for organizing such a talented group of partners who made jewelry that we sold at the auction to help raise more money. To Meigan who face painted her heart out, she had a line that never stopped; her creations were wonderful, and her way with the children was just fantastic. To Lindsay who took over at the last minute and got her store ready to host the event, and supplied the cambros of coffee and hot chocolate, as well as the pastry goodies that also helped to raise more money to the cause. As well, thank you to all the partners in the stores who helped by talking about the beautiful art we had up for the month of April that went to auction. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:b01e9dee-3c14-4d8c-b706-447f013e5d33] --&gt;</description>
