"What is going on in the other parts of the world ?" this question always pop up in my head and eventually makes me start to think : I have everything I need; clothes, food, home , a school to go to and a family but millions out there are in need and specially in Africa and mostly children.

Children in Africa do not have the basics standers of life.
