There’s been a lot of talk about change this year, and these discussions couldn’t occur at a better time.  The situation in Southern Africa is dire.  Political crisis and instability, food shortages, death and disease, and human rights abuses affect daily the people in Southern Africa. By providing hope and opportunity to our global brothers and sisters, and raising awareness in North America we ultimately create a change that will ripple across the world.  The most amazing thing is that we can contribute to this world-changing movement from our very own communities.  Each and every one of us has the ability to do this and that’s a very powerful thing. So how do you make a difference?  Volunteer in your community.  Raise awareness by talking to your friends, family and co-workers.  Write letters to your legislature.  Contribute what you are able to international organizations such as The G.R.O. Foundation that provide on-the-ground, direct support to people who need it.

It’s never been easiser.

The G.R.O. Foundation is excited to launch it’s 2008 Gifts of Hope campaign. Check it out at www.grofoundation.org.

This year, honor your mother, your brother, and your best friend by giving them a gift of hope.  Instead of giving your mom that yellow scarf you’re not sure she’ll like, how about sending an African student to school in her name instead?  What if you gave an unemployed woman in Africa a chance a starting her own business and put your sister’s name on it?   Or give chickens to grandmothers for that person you have no idea how to buy for.  Check it out. This year - go with something unique - go with something special - and go with something that keeps on giving.  This year, give hope.
