Some Solutions

I think one of the most important questions is, What can the typical person do to help these children? Well everyone knows that they need money to build proper orphanages and buy food and clothes for the kids, but people are weary about donating money because they don't know if it will arrive at it's destination, or that it will be used in the right way. There are some really good organizations that volunteer their time to Sponser event just for the purpose of helping orphans. The Santa Cruz cares organization is selling gift cards with artwork done by children in the Tsakelani center. They have also had dances/ dinners, sold hot chocolate, had a shopping day and tons of other events to raise money. There are lots of things to get involved in either with volunteering your time, or donating money for the cause.

I agree with your solutions. It is important for everyone to care about the orphans not only Africa, but throughout the world. Your proposed solutions could definitely make a difference in the world. Keep up the good work! ~Lavanya

Hi Vilet,
I think the topic you chose is great! You have some great ideas for helping these children, and I think that anyone would be able to do it. Are there any other organizations that sponsor these orphans, besides Santa Cruz? I am doing a similar topic, so come check out my blog!
