As you may be aware of the Ebola strain in West Africa, Africa Relief in Action, a nonprofit organization based in Houston, Texas has created an Ebola Response Campaign to engage individuals and organizations in America to learn about the pandemic and further seek support in the fight against the deadly virus. We will liaise with our missions in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea to obtain situation reports and statistical data about the state of the disease. The leaders of Sierra Leone and Liberia have declared state of emergency in their respective countries. The situation is very grave and urgent. Since the disease was first detected in the Southeastern part of Guinea some six months ago nearly 700 people have so far died of the Ebola virus. Hundreds more are receiving treatment at various centers while the pandemic continues to ravage the sub-region. New cases are reported everyday and there is no signs that the contagion is diminishing. At the moment, there is shortage of non pharmaceutical materials like gloves and protective gears, hard plastic containers to hold anti bacterial liquid, rain boots and any items that are useful in the outreach effort.
