Oops. Here's the synopsis sent to the <a href="mailto:devel@lists.laptop.org">devel@lists.laptop.org</a> (it was just forwarded to me). They might be developing other health-related activities:<br><br><br>--------------------------------------------------<br> Dear Developers,<br> <br> We have just uploaded an <span class="il">activity</span> that teaches children about<br> <span class="il">Malaria</span>.<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=<span class="il">malaria</span>&cat=all</a><br> <br> The Free From <span class="il">Malaria</span> game tells the story of Paul, a boy who lives in a <span class="il">Malaria</span><br> endemic country. Paul learns how mosquitoes are responsible for spreading the<br> Plasmodium parasite which causes <span class="il">Malaria</span>. 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 <span class="il">Malaria</span>.<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> World Class Project<br> <a href="http://worldclassproject.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://worldclassproject.org.uk</a><br> <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 9:15 AM, Cherry Withers <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:cwithers@ekindling.org">cwithers@ekindling.org</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> There's a new Malaria Activity just developed that I'm planning to use in the Philippines:<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=<span>malaria</span>&cat=all</a><br> <br>Hope this helps. <br><br>---Cherry<br><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div><div></div><div class="h5">On Tue, Jun 15, 2010 at 9:06 AM, Beth Santos <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:beth@waveplace.org" target="_blank">beth@waveplace.org</a>></span> wrote:<br> </div></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"><div><div></div><div class="h5"> <div class="gmail_quote">Hey all,<div><br></div><div>Looking for someone who can get me in touch with people who might be interested in developing health-focused Etoys education software- nutrition, sanitation, HIV/AIDS awareness, malaria prevention, anatomy, etc. This is an initiative I want to grow in countries in Africa and could use some content help.
