Stayin' Alive founder, Allyson Brown, was honored for her simple solution to the age old question, what can I do? "Have a dance, it's that easy."

HEROES OF THE WEEK! 

Check out the students of The Resource Centre for Youth, of Saint John, New Brunswick! They had 4 days of events devoted to World Malaria Day and Global Youth Service-- and raised enough funds to buy over 130 bed nets!

These students collected canned goods, held BBQ's and concerts, provided malaria education sessions, held several Stayin' Alive dances and also held a Dance Dance Revolution-A-Thon to raise funds and awareness about malaria! 

This isn't it for them- these students are ready and eager to keep engaging the issue to join in the effort to help make Malaria No More--we can't wait to see what they do next!
