Today is World Pneumonia Day!

2 million children under five years of age die from pneumonia each year—more than from HIV/AIDS, measles, and malaria combined.

In order to bring attention to this issue of pneumonia, New Media Strategies and JESS3 have collectively built Mission: Pneumonia as a client project for Save the Children.  I’ve been playing the game today; it’s fun and educational.
So how can you help?
