Dear colleagues and SAWBO friends, we want to share our December newsletter with you and wish you all a great Winter break and a Happy New Year. We hope you find our information useful and, as always, please feel free to share your suggestions with us at animations@illinois.edu.

Ebola Prevention

Voice-Overs in multiple languages

In less than a month SAWBO has accomplished its goal. We have made the Ebola Prevention animation accessible and understandable for many people around the world. Take a look at our website or YouTube Site and check if your language is already there.

Ebola Prevention Translations

Crowd-Funding Site for more VO

We want to translate this animation into as many languages as possible, because we are aware of the importance of making knowledge accessible and available to as many people as possible. We believe that sharing knowledge is a very good way to stop the spread of Ebola. We can not do that without your help. We need your donations in order to make this process as fast and easy as possible.

Thank you for helping SAWBO
Draw a Better World

Ebola 2D animation series
