The purpose of my blog is to create awareness on poverty in Africa. I hope that my blog can influence people to make change towards the issue by donating money, taking action themselves, and also creating awareness. If they create awareness, they could enforce the two types of change listed above, and enforce others to create awareness, and then again, and again. I believe that the first step to curing any problem, is being aware that it's there- which is just what I hope my blog will do.

Getting Involved
We've already discussed how to get involved on a smaller scale- but how will I get involved? Well, I think that firstly, by creating this blog, I will raise awareness on the issue and hopefully get others actively involved as well. I hope that just by sharing this blog with other people, I can convince them to help out the situation. Secondly, my family sponsors kids in Africa for about a year at a time through an organization called World Vision. This is when we pay a certain fee every month, and that money goes towards helping that child we sponsored. I plan to keep going throughout the next few years with my family, and carry on when I move out. Finally, in the near future, in my high school years, I plan to get involved hopefully with some of the trips that occur abroad to places all over the world in economically struggling communities, including many in Africa!
