Hi there, I am Maulen, usual teenager turning 18, usual except I am
an exchange student from Kazakhstan.
And we are fundraising to
feed starving children in the most desperate need, as a birthday
present. I asked my friends to make a donation instead of buying me presents.
I've been inspired by many wonderful people I've met during my
exchange year in the U.S.
and I also hope to inspire others
too. I am so thankful for all your kindness, people always have been
very kind to me, it's time to pay back.
I thought about I have
everything I need: home, family, even two of them, friends in all
parts of the world and more than enough food.
Last week we’ve met amazing lady, traveling with her backpack
all over the world. I invited Jolene to stay with us in the hotel
room, so we shared food, fun and stories. Jolene gave me a book
“Kindness of Strangers” about acts of kindness in all over the world.
It was there I’ve read about Cuban family who could survive for a
month on 20 $. Twenty bucks, we went to subway that night and spent 20
$.
The video will explain why choose hunger as an issue.
By
this time (about 60 seconds) as you are reading, 16 kids died of
hunger. It will be more by the time you finish this article. Statistics is scary.
I choose to do it through Xango Goodness Foundation. Because it
is the company I trust and know well.
I was lucky enough to
meet the founder of Xango Joe Morton, and many amazing people who work
with it. I know how sincere these people are and how they love what
they do.
We buy xango meal packs which is a unique,
water-soluble formula that delivers all the critical nutrients in a
way that malnourished bodies can be best absorb and utilize.

And it
will be distributed where it is needed most by the AmeriCares.
Americares worked since 1980’s to provide more than $8 billion USD of
aid to 137 countries.
If you want to help more, text me on facebook to know how you
can become "emissary of hope" and save children every month,
not just today.
Dear friend, thank you so much, I appreciate your time. Thank
you for good wishes and the best birthday gift ever.
