Warm Greetings:

What difference do our efforts really make? 

As individuals and an organization, are we really making any difference?  We should periodically ask ourselves the following: "Does my involvement or investment into others truly matter?" Sometimes, our efforts may seem relatively insignificant.  Like the proverbial drop in the ocean...

Sometimes, the best evidence can be the stories or testimonies.  The change in a person's life and horizons are frequently undeniable...  The sponsored child can now continue their education.  The trained teenager / college graduate is now better equipped to find a job. The small business owner will now be able to expand his business and feed his family... and the list goes on.

Sharing a story... a changed life

Here's an "impact evidence" video on our newly created channel on Youtube that reminds us of how much our efforts are making a difference.  The student in this this video is expressing gratitude after receiving basic computer training  provided by Develop Africa.  This training covered an introduction to computers, word processing and spreadsheets.  As the student explains, many youths and college graduates do not have any computer skills that are a vital requirement for obtaining good jobs...

<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>-<>

As we see in this video, our efforts are making a definite impact .  Our investments count.  This student's life and the changed life of each impacted person will never, ever be the same again!  Stop and think about this for a second.  We have the tremendous opportunity and power to transform lives. 

This is motivation to continue doing good.  We are making this world a better place...  bringing hope and making this world a whole lot better.  Little drops of water do make a mighty ocean...

On behalf of every changed life, "Thank You!

Spotlight on Matthew: In his own words:
 
"...I live with my grandparents and I lost my father when I was very young. My grandparents are not gainfully employed and are not able to provide 2 full meals a day. I live in a mud house with no running water or electricity. My grandmother is a petty trader selling kerosene to enable me to have one meal per day.

I go to school with the help of friends and neighbors. Your sponsorship would bring stability to my education and food on the table. I would be able to make progress towards becoming an accountant. Thank you for bringing me hope."
