A community portal about Africa with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: Africa is the world's second-largest and second most-populous continent, after Asia. At about 30,221,532 km including adjacent islands, it covers 6.0% of the Earth's total surface area, and 20.4% of the total land area. With more than 890,000,000 people in 61 territories, it accounts for about 14% of the world's human population.
What Does It Take?
I read an article in this month’s Newsweek entitled ”How to Heal the World (Or at least make a difference)”. The article focused on four different people who are working independent of each other, but working towards the same cause. A doctor, engineer, scientist, and banker spread across the world are all fighting to get a successful vaccine for for the HIV virus. A vaccine would be more affordable and easy to get to most of the villages spread out across Africa’s rural areas. They all have there own specialty and they work within their area to help.
I used to get overwhelmed because I would ask myself ‘How could I affect millions of peoples lives in Africa’? I had to understand that I might only be able to help 1 or a few persons.
