I just made a $25 donation to help an African village through SaveAfricaNow.org - Pay It Forward
I met this organization and it's founders personally at the GoGreenExpo in Los Angeles earlier this year.
They are great bunch of people and I truly admire their dedication to help those of our brothers and sisters on the African continent.
If you have any disposable income that you can share, even just a few bucks, this is hands-down a worthy and fulfilling cause.
OMG. This is such an emotional thing for me that believe it or not, after I make my donation I have to put it out of my head because my desire to "save the world" will eat away at me and I know how impoverished the continent is, how many adults suffer from diseases merely from lack of ANY healthcare, what kind of atrocities happen there from political unrest, and the worst are children that are orphaned and/or stricken with AIDS in Africa.
It just breaks my heart and no matter how hard I try, and can't help from getting all teared up.
So how I cope is to donate what I can and find comfort in knowing although I can't save the world single-handedly, but I can be part of a collaborative effort.
I know it's a very rough time for us right now in our economy, but if you really think about how rough those in Africa have it, it makes sense to donate a few bucks.

Much love and positive energy,

Hi Ralph, blessings to you for giving to such a wonderful as well as needed cause. My heart goes out to children in such need. Your donation will make a difference for a child. Great job!
