We wish to appeal that you kindly accept to sponsor a child for the African Youth Development Foundation (AFRYDEF).

In Africa, many families live under the poverty line of USD 1 per day and therefore cannot afford to feed their children. Think of it, how would these poor families then be able to pay for their children’s medical needs as well as provide them with the basic education needed to empower them for life?  

These uneducated and unhealthy children therefore grow up into adulthood, get married early and begin to make their own large families (of at least ten children each) like their parents due to idleness and frustration.

The cycle of poverty continues . . !

Happy St. Paddy's Day! In sunny FL, we've been up for hours waiting for you to wake up - we're hoping you'll spread the luck o' the Irish & vote for us here after reading more about our entry. Our original submission was a little less complete than we'd planned, but we've included many more details below, including examples, a use case diagram, an expanded list of potential data sources & shared services and many compelling statistics that illustrate why we believe this tool could have incredibly broad application & appeal, so read on:

Dear Friends of CORAfrica,

Hat tip to my grandma for this one.  She sent me the article, "Blogging Teaches Write Stuff," from the Arizona Republic about a teacher from Cimarron Springs Elementary school who received a TeachersFirst Class Blogs Award from TeachersFirst.com for his use of blogs with young people.
