Ways we can help...ways others are helping

To be honest, I wasn't going to find anything new to bring to class today about helping in Africa. However, last night I decided to look at the Kalamazoo Gazette and found, to my surprise, an article about World AIDS Day, which was yesterday. The article is similar to an argument and talks about how much money should be given to stopping AIDS and how much certain organizations are spending on AIDS instead of working on stopping other diseases like pnueomia. Check out the link above to read the article online. I'll bring the paper copy to class today.

The reason I wasn't going to do anything for class today was that I had written my second paper on World Vision, an organization that works through sponsorship and other means to help impoverised people around the world provide for their needs and bring justice to those who can not help themselves. If you are at all interested in finding out more about this organization, click on the link. World Vision offers a multitude of ways that we can participate in helping people around the world, plus they offer information on the countries that they are working in such as history and social life today. Very interesting.
