Poverty is an epidemic that is facing all African Countries. According to statistics more than 80% of the population in most African Countries live on under $1 a day. Not a $1 a day but under a dolar a day..now do the math, you can clearly see that it is impossible to fully sustain an individual on less than a $1 a day. Hence we as a group of young voluteers we have decided to make a difference by feeding and clothing as many people as possible. For the past two years we have been collecting clothing and food, donating it to the disadvantaged in Cape Town, South Africa. But for 2014 we have decided to pass on our efforts to our neighbouring country, Botswana.
We plan on raising atleast $1500, to make food parcels including blankets and parafin stoves for the winter months that are coming ahead. Giving someone just a meal a day and a warm blanket makes a huge difference and blesses the soul. We will not spend time telling you all the emotional experiences we have had but just that with just donating atleast $1 you will be making sure that someone will have a meal and a warm blanket during the cold winter months. As volunteers we need the finances because this is the bigegst project we have ever tackled and we cannot fully finance it on our own as we are all students. Our desire is to support two villages in the above mentioned country.Hence any financial assistance will help us to reach as many people and make sure that this years winter months are bearable. When you give someone a meal when they have not eaten in days, you are not only saving their physical need but also you are creating HOPE...:). Please Help us to Help others...
