Amani

I chose to do my presentation about the Amani foundation. I realize that the money made from this foundation goes toward orphanages in Africa, but I feel an emotional connection to this cause. I feel that I will be able to give a good presentation and provide emotional connections to this cause.
The family started this cause, is a family that I have known since grade school, and my best friends were both adopted. Later on, my bets friends’ aunt adopted a little girl from Africa, and that there family is very big on adoption. I feel that more associations like this one should, and if we had more like this one, we would have less poverty. I feel that this is an association that we can all take something from.
Women make the beads that make the necklaces and bracelets, in African tribes in Kenya. That allows them to get involved, and my friend’s aunt (not the one who adopted the children) paints them, and then my friend’s family puts the jewelry together.
I have gone to events that support this cause, and I feel like a part of this family. I also see two girls who have pulled themselves up from their bootstraps, and have allowed such a big event in their lives to help other children who have had to go through the same things they did. They so this for themselves, their cousins, and for everyone who is touched by this cause.
