OK, many people have asked what they can do to help.

If you want to do something while I am still here please email me (eprainey@gmail.com) and I will tell you how.

If you want to wait then you can gather supplies and we can mail it through my placement organization. But be advised that it is not wise to send a box of supplies to Uganda because it takes a LONG time and sometimes does not reach the right person. Sending money blindly is also not a good idea. There are secure ways to do it, but you need to be specific about what exactly you are giving money for. If you want to give money now and want to make sure it is spent in the manner that you wish for it...email me.

If you want to sponsor a child there are two options:
1. $150 sponsorship- this send a child to school with all supplies and food needed for the whole year.
2. $360 sponsorship- (this one is worth it) This sponsorship pays for the child to go to school with all supplies but also pays for a microfinance program to be started in his or her home. It also helps build up the community financially. So you are helping the child learn, helping the community learn and making the child's life better all-around.

Email me for more info. And visit www.youthfocusafricafoundation.com for info about this specific program.
