Goals and Highlights

by Stacey Cole

What goals do you have for the future besides your trip in July?

I plan to continue supporting my sponsored children and the Chitima Health Centre, and to plan another trip next year. Who knows where I’ll be going! I’m also looking forward to graduating from law school next year and seeing where my degree can take me.

About Global Poverty Monitor

Poverty. Famine. War. It's all around us, in the news, the papers and on every second documentary you see. But what is the real truth? Are things really as bad as we're told - or are they worse? And what really can be done? Some people think believe the only way to help is to donate money to large relief comporations, and let them decide where it is best spent. Others prefer a more personal approach - choosing which projects and causes to support. But are we really in a position to make such decisions? How do we determine who is needy and who isn't? Read about these issues and more from someone who is just as confused as the rest of us, but who is determined to find out.
