In a world of modern convenience, super technology, the internet, Facebook, nutrition, diets, and fast food there is absolutely NO EXCUSE why a child should go malnourished or even die from a lack of food. Food should be a basic human right for any living person, and especially a child.
Over 900,000 children in Peru live in poverty and extreme poverty.
Many generations of people have been existing without a proper diet to help them grow up strong and healthy.
A group of us is teaming up with Computers for Communities, TheOneEffect.com, Giving Adventures, and Paskay.org to build an organic farm that will feed and educate these children in the village of Rumira, Peru for generations to come.
Creating a successful charity project requires 2 things.
1. Connecting the right people
2. Raising funds
We do need your help. Giving is one of the best feelings a person can experience, and in projects like these we are not only giving these children a healthy and more positive start in life, we are giving to each other. Helping each other build something that is bigger than ourselves. Helping each other believe that each and everyone of us can make a difference in the world if we choose to. That is what this project is about.
Ways to Help
1. We need 333 people to donate at least $60….that's it, not a ton of money for most of us, but for these children $60 will go a long way.
2. MOST IMPORTANTLY! Share this video with 5 friends. Not just any friends, those 5 friends that you know will care, those 5 friends that you know will share. Those 5 friends. If you do that these these children will have a nutritious life for years to come.
We have until December 8, 2012 to generate $20,000 to build a fully functional farm.
P.S. We want to recruit you….YES YOU to come to Peru and help build the farm. Towards the end of our project we will be traveling to Peru for 2 weeks to work on the farm side by side with the people of the village, and seeing beautiful Peru along the way.
