People To People Aid; Give a Click for ‘Life In Africa’ – A Blog Contest and Blog Action Day Combo

It’s Nice to Be Nice – and since today is a Blog Action Day for People to People Aid; We’re donating our vibes and time to one of our favorite new causes – a group of women in Uganda; organized by our cyberfriend Christina.

We spend all day clicking, so why not make it worth something this time ?

Blogging is all about a reason, and for us – it’s YOU. we know you don’t just come here day after day to see the template; so we feel responsible to our blogging planet and citizenry. we always want to contribute socially, morally and hopefully with reality as our chief component. today we honor a very strong and important cause, and woman.

we think Christina stole our hearts when we first began reading her blog several months ago. she talks about the way it is in Uganda and how that relates to life in the US. things really seemed to mean female flexibility is king.

She’s a US Citizen Activist, who chose to Go To Africa to Help Others. That is something, Reallllly Something. she blogs daily about the life she leads now, and her goals for the people she’s working with. she’s a crown jewel. this girl is the type you take home to mama. she has all the best of everything going for her, and she shares it to help others; which is why we believe so wholeheartedly in her cause celeb, Ugandan Families.

You Go Christina !

here’s a lil history to help convince you to support this cause:

(From Christina’s blog)

As you can see in the video, these families really really need some additional stability and opportunity in their lives. After months of consensus building, the adults who are members of Life in Africa (mostly women) have all agreed that getting help to educate the children in their care is the number one most urgent need that they all face. Please help me to help them. With your help I am hopeful we can make a meaningful impact on at least some of their situations.

Thank you very much in advance on behalf of Life in Africa members in Kampala’s Acholi Quarter for participating in this chALLEnGe. Here’s to bloggers like me and YOU making good things happen in their world!
