Executive Summary on Africa

Right now kids in Africa aren't getting the same opportunities that we're getting. Our schools are better, our environment is better, and our overall lifestyle is better. We need to use some of the money that we have over here to help out people in their situation over there. People are dying from malaria and other diseases that would cost us almost nothing to help cure. We could send doctors over to make sure things like that don't happen. If people could send over their "extra" it could go a long way and help the people in africa with getting rid of poverty, providing better farm tools, and teaching the kids in school and making sure they're getting the right utensils. They have tried to make a change so why can't we help them in making that change. If they are trying to help themselves by cleaning up their hospitals, providing education for their children, and farming to have food on the table and make a living for themselves then why shouldn't we try and help them and send whatever extra money we have. It could provide kids with supplies in school. It could hire people to help in the fields while farming. The situation in Africa is bad but we could definetly help out if we just tried. We should try and make it so that we are all equal and since the government isn't trying to help out we should encourage individual companies to donate more money or fundraisers to raise money and we should spread the word to spread awareness. I think we should help out by donating more things that we do not need badly or that we do not use anymore. Those couple of extra dollars and cents lying around our house could mean a lot to other people in Africa.
