H2O Africa Foundation

Author's Note: I wrote about my view on how I think people should start to give more to others. In my essay is an example of a foundation that gives clean water to families in Africa. 

We should all start to help pitch in and give to the less fortunate. Some of us need to stop watching their flat screen T.V and give to others.

This year for my thirteenth birthday I gave up one thing I thought I’d never give up when it comes to my birthday. My presents, this year I’m raising money for a foundation called H2O Africa. Instead of my guests bringing presents for me they’re bringing money to donate for the kids in Africa. The money will go to missionaries that travel to Africa and give kids there clean and healthy water.

I think more people should start to participate in more organizations like this because after you help out it feels so good to know that you just helped save a child’s life. Some girls are upset because they can’t get that doll when others are upset because they can’t eat for the next 2 days. Some boys are upset because they can’t get a new skate board when others are upset because they don’t have a home.

If we all gave a small donation every month even once every year we could help change the world. Clothes, food, money, and toothbrushes. Surprisingly just that pair of shoes, just that box of rice would make the child’s week. Why do we waste our time complaining about things we can live without when people are waiting for a drink of water? 

My family has something that is called a sponsor child. A sponsor child is a child you are assigned to and you give them and their family $30 a month to help supply food, shelter, and clothing.

We all need to pitch in to help save the innocent lives of not only children but families. When ever I get the chance to help others I get feeling of accomplishment and proud of myself. I really think it's a big reward anytime you give to others.
