Hello everyone, I'm Andrea, I'm 22 years old and I'm from Iceland :) I have started to volunteer for ABC Children's aid, I just started 27th of march.. I just needed to do something more, something outside the computer...and I thought it would be fun, What i was doing was putting bills to sponsors in envelopes...:)..and matching a picture of a child to its profile and put it together.. I just go there when I have time to... I sponsor a child in Uganda through ABC Children's Aid, and sponsor Unicef. I have been inspired by Invisible Children. What they are doing is absolutely amazing. I reccommend you check out these videos, then you will know what I'm talking about... I will not be able to go to Displace Me, I really want to be there, But instead my thoughts, and my heart will be with you on this extraordinary night!! I am capable of spreading the word though... I can tell people about it!I Sponsor a boy named Abdu, he is 8 years old and will turn 9 years old this year. I have been sponsoring him for 4 years now, for about little 29 dollars a Month!! that gives him school, school clothes, school books, one meal a day, medical care, a more rich social life, it gives him hope. I may not be able to help millions of children, but if I can help one, it is a miracle happening. Every Sponsor, whether they are sponsoring specific children, or donating for the most neccessity, are miracle workers, its the only way i know of putting it. Because it gives people their lives back. I have received at least one picture of him every year, and an extra one if i give more in the christmas present, the christmas present is best given as a money donation like the sponsor ship, because these people know what is most neccesary, and believe me, those kids cheer for neccesary things too, like mosquito nets, matresses, pillows, school bags, shoes, socks, pants, etc.. because they often have so little of those things... most of the houses in his village are with mud floors, and usually just blankets to sleep on. Abdu is an orphan. His mother died of aids, and then his father abandoned him and his 5 syblings, leaving them with his aged grandmother. I also get his grades and christmas cards... which is always a rewarding mail to get. 29 dollars a month, i dont even notice that any money are gone... i have payed more for a single dinner. I also sponsor Unicef, there i give 7.42 dollars a month for anything that is most neccesary.. like raising money for a new school, giving people medical care etc.. 1.50 dollars can actually save a life, it buys one shot that is an anti-drug to some disease.. Somewhere i read that there was no selfless good deed, and i think that is very true, because when people do a good deed, it makes them feel good inside, and that is not a bad thing, that is good, This makes me feel good inside, I am saving a human life. That is extraordinary. I truly reccommend it from the bottom of my heart! Best wishes, AndreaLayout Provided By CodeMyLayout.com - Myspace Layouts
