DESCRIPTION:Every 45 seconds\, a child in Africa dies from malaria\, but 
 St. Teresa's Episcopal Church in Acworth is hoping to change that.\nThe 
 church is sponsoring Operation: Nets for Life\, a campaign to raise mone
 y for purchasing cost effective mosquito nets\, said campaign spokeswoma
 n Sally Plummer.\n&ldquo\;Here in Acworth\, when we put our kids to bed\
 , we don&rsquo\;t give a second thought to their safety. They&rsquo\;re 
 in our houses\, they&rsquo\;re safe and sound\,&rdquo\; said Plummer.\n&
 ldquo\;Unfortunately\, parents in Africa don&rsquo\;t have that same sen
 se of security because they know their child is just one night&rsquo\;s 
 sleep away from getting a malaria-infected mosquito bite.&rdquo\;\nUnlik
 e in America\, African residences are often open\, with no screens on th
 e windows or doors\, so the mosquitoes enjoy easy access to their victim
 s\, Plummer said. The mosquito nets provided by Nets for Life are large 
 and can cover the whole family in the sleeping area.\nAnd providing thes
 e life-saving\, long-lasting nets is easy.\nJust text NETS to 20222. You
 r $10 donation will be billed to your cell phone and the parents of Afri
 can children will sleep a little easier.\nThe Nets for Life campaign at 
 St. Teresa's is part of a combined effort by all 96 Episcopal churches i
 n north and middle Georgia and a nationwide campaign by all U.S. Episcop
 al churches to build awareness about malaria and how it can be prevented
