Poverty

Color Blind

This world is seen as what people want it to be, not for what it truly is. Color Blind solves the fundamental problems of the many founding societies that bring up controversy and malevolence.

Habitat for Humanity

We fund raise and then build a home for a deserving family in our community. I am one of about 85 high school aged kids that are volunteering some of their time. This project will be done in the Spring.

The Road (Trip) Home

I know I cannot end world or even national homelessness. But I will try to end it for just one person, then another, then another... Even if that never happens, my main goal is just to let homeless people that they are loved and that some people care and do not want them to feel like invisible world citizens.

Feed the need

I want to help raise awareness about people who dont have alot to eat. I want to help feed the people who don't have food.

EASTERN HENRICO COUNTY FEED THE NEED CAMPAIGN 2009

I am trying to help solve the hunger issues in Richmond, Virginia.

Camp Dellwater

There are children on the Indian Reservation living in poverty. They live a very difficult life, and it is my goal to bring them hope and a smile.

Feed the Homeless of Oakland

The problem i am trying to is homeless/low income citizens of america atleast get food to help them survive. We as a team received donations of food and drinks to make sure the homeless of Oakland gets a meal.

The Eyes of Rochester

A major problem in the city of Rochester is that people can’t afford glasses. 73% of people are poor in the city of Rochester and can’t afford glasses. Prescription glasses can cost more than $300 a pair! Some people live their lives not being able to see, but they deserve to. Kids in schools are unable to see the chalkboard or read their homework that’s posted on the bulletin board. They want to succeed, but they just can’t see the board or read their homework. What if someone’s in the car and can’t read a sign or tell when the light turned red.

My Dream

I am trying to be a part in resolving overseas third world poverty. My key focus is limiting warfare, which will limit orphans (what I was) in third world countries. I plan to gain an education in Linguistics and use that to get involved in the government and international communications branch of politics in my country of birth. I was born and raised in the city of Firestone, Liberia. a 15 year civil war began 4 years before I was born. I endured this war for the first 11 or so years of my life. It left my family separated and destroyed, and me an orphan.

SAVE A LIFE

I have a plan to start a foundation called SAVE A LIFE, which targets pregnant women in third world countries as well as those with small children. I wanted to make a difference in those women and children's lives in order to reduce their death rates caused by malaria. Unfortunately, i will not be able to do so because i am 16 and lack the funds and knowledge on starting this sort of thing. Though I did my research, I still need my outside help that i have yet to find. This is why I want to something, to make a difference.
