Every Penny Counts


A wise man like Benjamin Franklin certainly knew about the value of
a penny. After all, he's the one who coined the famous quote "A penny
saved is a penny earned."

Now, can you imagine what $0.50 could do for a child in Ghana?

Read this amazinz story about a Ghanaian girl named Harriet Bruce Annan.
She is an inspirational example of how just one person has the power to change the lives of others.

Full Belly Project

I came across this video and I thought "what a great concept." Thanks to the innovator: Mr. Jock Brandis for the peanut sheller for African use.

It has already greatly improved the nutrition of African children and reduced the labor of women. The children will not suffer from hunger anymore because of this great innovation. My hope is that it spreads all over the countries where hunger is a huge problem.


I just love to read about "feel good stories" like this one.
