With the smart phone I'm sure that you have within six inches of your keyboard, scan this QR code to see what I'm up to and how you can make the cliche-but-nevertheless-true difference in the global community of which you are a part.
If you've seen any of my earlier posts, I am trying to raise money for famine relief in East Africa through Operation USA. Operation USA is a non-profit agency with a unique advantage. They have their own planes which they can load with aid (like food) and drop into countries in which on-the-ground efforts are prohibited. I am participating in this fundraising attempt with my fellow TCU classmates in Multimedia Authoring, a course focusing on the rhetoric of image.
In case you need more background, East Africa is suffering from a severe drought, and its resulting famine, which is compounded with civil strife and warfare. Many refugees are trying to flee, with opposition, from Somalia into nearby Kenya. Both countries, along with their neighbors, need help in supporting and maintaing their refugee camps of hundreds of thousands.
Even if you aren't sure that you have anything to give, check the page out and find out more about what we're doing.
