Following Footsteps
How can others follow in your footsteps and work with the poor in Africa?
There are many ways that people can get involved. It is always possible to fundraise for a charity like World Vision, but I would
strongly recommend something a little more personal which is many times more rewarding. If you can afford it, sponsor a child. Child sponsorship is your key to a whole community that needs your help. Otherwise, consider different ways that you can travel to Africa and work with the poor first hand. STA Travel offers travel grants to people who have a great idea and need travel assistance. You could always go through Overseas Working Holidays like I am, where you pay your own airfares and accommodation, which is a definite way of getting to Africa rather than hoping to be accepted into a study tour or grant.

Oh, this is an interesting topic!
I would be very interested to know more about travels to Africa; how to go about starting one, what lengths of time you can go for, what are some of the approximate costs involved, and so forth.
I just found this site, very cool!
