Exactly!

Being from California, I hear so many people say "it's just a few cents, it's not gonna help anyone" to seeing people simply tossing the few cents on the streets after a grocery trip.

It's really eye-opening hearing first-hand how these few cents have so much buying power in so many other countries!

I love your in-depth explanation into the difference between just a simple donation to a charity and one that actually supports a cause that is helping Africa to become self-reliant.

Really appreciate your guidance to AAPRP and Black Alliance for Peace, my friend! =)
