The Problem

Visiting Bosnia with my family a few years ago made me see how bad poverty has hit.

Why It's Important

Poverty is a killer and nobody deserves to live in it and go through it. I want to help out.

The Plan Of Action

1.Fly back over there with extra money to help the people. 2.Meet some of the families going through poverty. 3.Organize some kind of plan that will help give those in need more food and clothing. 4.Make food baskets for the families, buy clothes for them, take their clothes and wash them 5.Talk to local stores, gas stations, etc for job openings I know by doing this it will help those in poverty over there. It would make them appreciate me and It would make me feel better inside

How Can Others Get Involved?

 
Help save money to put it with mine so we can have enough to actually do all that I have planned to do. Help with the food baskets and buying the clothes and washing their clothes.
