Mwanamisi
This is Mwanamisi from Tanzania. I decided to sponsor her through World Vision. She lives in Tanzania with her mom, dad, and brother. They live in an HIV/Aids infested area, as do a large portion of African children. If you do not know about World Vision here is there website:

I talked to Trissa and Kelly last night after watching Hotel Rwanda, which was a movie about the 800,000 Hutu's and Tutsi that were killed 1994, while the Clinton administration and most of the Western power arms did nothing to stop these horrible autrocities and stood back and watched.
After the movie we talked about what we could do to be women who live passionately and try to make the world a better place. I said we need to take small steps. Sponsoring Mwanamisi is another step. Signing the DATA petition is another. Next I am not sure. I know that Jesus is giving me His passion, I guess I keep taking steps until I can't walk anymore.
I would encourage any of you that are interested in knowing about the AIDS pandemic in sub-saharan Africa to check out the DATA website:

This is not the last that you have heard about this from me. You will continue to hear me rant and rave about this for awhile.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can go to Africa to help people for cheap? Or maybe go on a mission trip to Africa.
I know all of this may seem so random to some of you who hear me talk about school, the church, church planting, sociology degree, etc. It is something that has been going on for a few years now in me...it was just one of the things(among many) that I suppressed because I did not have the energy to think about it. Now, I still do not have the energy, but it is pressing on me.
