 There is no simple solution to problems facing Africa people today, but don’t let that discourage you from trying to help every little act of compassion adds up.
HERE ARE 10 EXAMPLES OF HOW YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE 1- Travel:Join the Bread and water for Africa staff and other adventurers like yourself on our October 2009 Kenya safari! Participants will be taken to many of Kenya’s breathtaking national parks and will be hosted by spokperson Phyllis Keino in Eldoret where they will be witness three of our programs first-hand. 2- Share:Share your experience, ideas, and knowledge about Africa with friends and family. Discussing Africa with others spread awareness and motivates other to act too. 3- Speak:If you have traveled or worked in Africa give a talk to a group you being to or to your class. 4- Donate:Every donation holds the possibility of changing the life of an African child. Every dollar helps. 5- Eat: Eat at African restaurant – there is no more delicious way to experience Africa culture. 6- Visit: Visit local African events, expo, and museums. You will be amused by the natural resources, the diversity and the richness of African culture. 7- Support:Contact your Congressman. Foreign-assistance programs represent a tiny fraction of our nation’s budget – less than one percent – but their impact is substantial. American aid saves millions of lives each year by putting children in school, helping women start businesses, preventing the spread of malaria and HIV, and assisting farmers working to improve their local economies. Indeed, foreign-aid programs serve an important role in promoting the security of our nation and world. 8- Sponsor:Sponsorship offer a unique opportunity for you to connect with specific child need and transform that child’s life and community forever through benefit like food, clean water, health care and education. 9- Invest:You may be in a position to invest in an African business or to join a group of investors with African interests (there are a growing number of African investment funds). Even the simple act of buying African art in an American store helps to support the artists and their families 10- Write: Voice your views and perspectives on Africa-related issues. Write a letter to your senator, member of Congress, or state or local government official. Share your opinions with companies engaged in Africa. Author a guest editorial for your community or school newspaper, or post a message on your favorite Internet message board.
