00:04.040 --> 00:07.680
Members of Civil Affairs Team 4905

00:07.690 --> 00:10.350
distributed 18,000 insecticide treated

00:10.350 --> 00:13.570
bed nets in Ethiopia on March 15 and 16

00:13.670 --> 00:15.614
in an effort to impede a dangerous

00:15.614 --> 00:18.100
disease here . Well currently we are in

00:18.100 --> 00:20.156
one of the capabilities of the Abaya

00:20.156 --> 00:22.322
worry to um , which is one of the most

00:22.322 --> 00:24.433
malaria's regions during this time of

00:24.433 --> 00:26.544
the year in the country of Ethiopia .

00:26.544 --> 00:28.656
So obviously there's a great need for

00:29.240 --> 00:31.018
fighting malaria in this area .

00:31.240 --> 00:33.407
According to civil Affairs team leader

00:33.407 --> 00:35.518
U . S . Army captain Charles Varner ,

00:35.518 --> 00:37.740
Ethiopians in this area are expecting a

00:37.740 --> 00:39.851
large spike in malaria cases when the

00:39.851 --> 00:41.796
rainy season arrives to quell this

00:41.796 --> 00:43.740
spike . Many organizations such as

00:43.740 --> 00:45.462
communication for change , the

00:45.462 --> 00:47.407
President's malaria initiative and

00:47.407 --> 00:49.462
other US and Ethiopian organizations

00:49.462 --> 00:51.240
created a curriculum to educate

00:51.240 --> 00:53.920
Ethiopians on malaria awareness . After

00:53.920 --> 00:55.698
the class Ethiopians received a

00:55.698 --> 00:58.050
certificate and their bad debts . This

00:58.050 --> 01:01.410
is a big campaign so that makes

01:01.420 --> 01:03.610
sense for the community to use

01:03.620 --> 01:05.870
appropriately the most Karen . It's so

01:05.870 --> 01:07.981
it's a big deal for the community , a

01:07.981 --> 01:10.037
fringy or foreigner handing over the

01:10.037 --> 01:11.981
next for them . We've been looking

01:11.981 --> 01:14.092
forward to this for a long time now .

01:14.092 --> 01:16.203
It's a very rewarding process and I'm

01:16.203 --> 01:15.650
really happy to be a part of it

01:16.040 --> 01:17.984
reporting from combined Joint Task

01:17.984 --> 01:20.151
Force , Horn of Africa . I'm Air Force
