A chance to travel to Africa with World Vision & Much

Though you may know me as the silly babe of threadblogs who talks too much about boobs and twats and silly things like poop....
This is a totally serious blog....

I am trying to get the opportunity to travel to Africa (Malawi, more specifically) with MuchMusic and World Vision to be a part of a documentary on world hunger, the situation Malawi is facing, and hopefully be a part of the change we need to fix world hunger for good.

I ask you please watch this video, and give me your thoughts and suggestions....
It would mean the WORLD to get your ratings and comments on the video itself as well to get some exposure... my 'entry essay' can also be seen through the youtube page, but I will post it here as well...

This is a trip that I would love to be able to do as it's something I could never afford to pay for on my own... I feel as though seeing the reality of the situation in Africa will really allow for me to understand where all of our fundraising efforts go, what still needs to happen, and to really see with my own eyes the harsh reality they face every day, so that I can come back and educate others and work together to make this a thing of the past.....

Your support would be MUCH...MUCH appreciated....
Thanks in advance.



"When it comes to the 30 HR FAMINE "contest" all you need to know about me is that I sincerely want to be part of the difference. I want to learn so that I can teach others on the reality of things and work with talented musicians and media gurus, as well as regular folk like you and I to finally make world hunger a thing of the past.

There are wonderful organizations already doing everything they can to shed some light into the growing issue of world hunger, AIDS, and overall poverty of the gorgeous continent of Africa and its regions.....
I would like to be part of the change. I want to really witness first hand the reality of the hardships they endure every day so that I can better understand WHY fundraising as well as education is so important to us who are blessed enough to have been born by luck of the draw in the western world, where we take so many things for granted

.... I want to be the change in others.

My boyfriend and I have been dreaming up ideas of starting our own non-profit charity work and fundraising, and this would be a dream come true kind of opportunity to really get us in that high gear we need to be able to start this, really giving back to a world that's given us so much.
