First Shipment To Nigeria A Success For #OperationMosquito. Time For The Second.
Even though I haven't been posting as much, there is still plenty happening behind the scenes for #OperationMosquito.
What is Operation Mosquito?
Operation Mosquito is an attempt to help reduce Malaria in Nigeria by helping a fellow Steemian find ways to prevent contracting Malaria through the use of insecticides, herbs, and plants.
A while back, a post was made on how to successfully use the site Jumia.com.ng using an American based BitPay Card.
I am happy to report the test package was successfully received!
So, if you have someone in Nigeria that you would like to send a package to and want to save massive amounts of money on shipping, the post can be found here on how successfully conduct a transaction using the Jumia site.
The second package has been ordered using Amazon.
Hopefully, through further research, we can find a healthier insecticide alternative for the sprayer. A respirator has also been used for the use of this product, but through Jumia.
The propane for the sprayer will have to be locally sourced, because of shipping restrictions.
The next package will be sent around the 1st of September.
This is the list.
The herbal remedies recipes and use scenarios still need to be posted and formed into a binder. This will all come together in time.
All liquid payouts for this post are being used for the Operation Mosquito Project.

I mostly story post about my sobriety, family, effects of war, and the crazier parts of my life. However, if it interests me I may just Steem about it! Steem on Steemians!

Why don't they all have mosquito nets over there? costs almost nothing

The average Nigerian Income is $3,956 USD. That's $10.84 cents a day. A mosquito net(that I buy from a Nigerian Site) is a little over 6,000 Nigerian Naira which is a little over $16 USD. The person I am sending this stuff to does have a mosquito net and that is not enough to protect from Malaria.
good luck @lexikon082 for second wave
I like that you followed up on your promise. Remember me? Talked a while back and I suggested mosquito treated net and I even sent you a link. You are doing a wonderful humanitarian service. ✌️
Yes, I do remember you. I thought I had the Mosquito treated net in the next package to be sent out. I researched those and even found this one from Jumia.
This specific mosquito net is approved by the WHO and is on the list of products to be sent.
Thank you for suggesting it
Wow, that's cool. You remembered. Awesome.
I really try to keep my word when I say I will do things. I have been known to forget, so I try to write things down on a list now, so that way it can help alleviate my forgetfulness. lol
This is really good. I forget too, I use Google calendar alert :)
what a great project - rock on
Thanks, @dreams4rock. It's moving along slowly but surely.
Great to hear the first package arrived safely! I figured you were a busy bee behind the scenes.
It's moving along. Slowly but surely.
good day, celebrating 500 Followers. check my post
Great job @lexikon082. We need a lot more people like you around.
We can all do our part. Imagine if each of us did a little something to help others, what the world would be like as a whole.
