BREAKING!!! Mikel And Drogba Join Ronaldo And Others To Raise Ebola Awareness by sojas: 12:29am On Nov 19, 2014 |
Didier Drogba and John Mikel Obi are among a host of footballers from Europe’s biggest clubs who have united to raise awareness in the fight against the Ebola virus. Football’s governing body FIFA, the Confederation of African Football and health experts joined forces in a multimedia public health campaign to raise awareness about the Ebola virus and to implement preventative measures. The ‘11 Against Ebola’ campaign, features Drogba and Mikel along with Real Madrid’s Cristiano Ronaldo, Barcelona’s Neymar and Bayern Munich’s Philipp Lahm among others and promotes 11 simple health messages selected with the help of doctors and health experts from Africa, the World Bank and the World Health Organisation who are tackling the outbreak in West Africa. Underneath the positive slogan ‘Together, we can beat Ebola’ and the hashtag #wecanbeatebola, players share each message with the help of animated films, radio content, banners, posters and pictures in a multimedia campaign launched today (Monday November 17). The Chelsea pair also joined other Premier League players from West Africa to support the launch of a free-to-air Ebola-focused education channel to be broadcast via satellite in the region. The channel, called ‘Fight Ebola’ aims at informing people in affected areas about the nature and dangers of the disease and how to fight it. The content contributions are courtesy of numerous international media, help organisations and institutions such as UNICEF, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), and End Ebola Now. Among those joining Drogba and Mikel to give messages of support are former Blue Samuel Eto'o and Christian Atsu, currently on loan at Everton, Stoke City’s Peter Odemwingie and Tottenham’s Emmanuel Adebayor. Chelsea fans in the UK can help stop the spread of Ebola and support those affected by donating to the Disasters Emergency Committee Ebola Crisis Appeal.
